Freelance creative based in Plymouth, UK. This is my personal/behind the scenes blog full of snapshots, shoot previews, promotions and inane ramblings. I only really reblog posts featuring my friends and the odd wishlist item here, I have separate blogs (listed below) for my own work, things I find inspirational and my adventures with Keri Smith's books. Feel free to follow, I follow back on all but 'Scribble Wildly'.

So this blog has been pretty depressing and text heavy recently so here’s some photos of me pulling some standardly ridiculous faces with some wonderful people at Fractal on Friday. To see the full photo albums from the night (you know, the albums with photographs that show the night itself and not just me being a twat) check out Facebook.
Some damn good times lately it has to be said! I can honestly say I’m really enjoying my life right now. It’s amazing the difference removing some people from your social circle (as much as possible, at least) can make… I just wish it was as simple as just pressing delete! Some people really don’t seem to understand basic English. It must be well over a couple of months now since I first made it clear that I wanted nothing to do with a certain somebody after the way in which they treated myself and so many people whom I really care about yet still I’m getting repeatedly harassed to the point where at times I’ve felt completely at a loss as to what to do… Yes, they really have taken things that much too far! Oh well, one thing that I’ve become more and more aware of over the course of my life is that other people can only hurt you if you let them… Letting go of any emotional attachment to someone who is out to mess with your mind, whilst hard at times, is the best thing that you can do for sure. Still getting the grief but the difference is now I find the entire situation ridiculous, pathetic and, at times, damn right entertaining! No need to let it effect my life negatively! I have some amazing people that deserve so much love for bringing me out of the rut that I was in, I’m genuinely the happiest I’ve been in a long time and it’s all down to the people around me and how productive I’ve been lately. Has been a while since there’s been this many talented, creative and lovely people in my life and damn it feels good! Looking back over the past few months makes me feel like a complete idiot at times, why did I let someone who is so clearly not worth it affect me so badly? No point in dwelling on it though, the way I see it is if you don’t make mistakes you’re never going to learn and grow as a person. Anyways, enough of that…
Been so busy shooting and editing recently… Finally got all of the photographs from Fractal’s birthday up online, now onto editing the ones from Unleashed presents SpectraSoul at White Rabbit and then Dubstep Tuesday’s (every Tuesday at White Rabbit, £2 entry, £1 a pint, filthy tunes, why would you spend your Tuesday night anywhere else?!)!
Will be covering the Tsunami Soundwave/Rigsmith HiFi/Pressure Roots HiFi 3 system sound clash tomorrow (Friday 28/10/2011) at Voodoo Lounge. Stuff going on from midday so come on down! 3 sound systems in one room, each playing sets then in the last hour playing two songs each going from wall to wall! There will be damn tasty food from Jerky’s too! Shout outs to Si from Top Billin who will be celebrating his birthday this weekend too, make sure you provide him with lots of drinks!
Then on Tuesday I’ll standardly be at Dubstep Tuesday and this time it’s gonna be a little bit special because those good ol’ Melty Face lads are giving you a Halloween After Party! Ooooh yeah!
Off to Bristol on Saturday, is all go go go! Looking forward to a weekend out of Plymouth, think a change of scenery is definitely needed and I’m looking forward to celebrating Halloween with some lovely people… It is my favourite holiday after all! Now, what to wear? Uh oh, I sound like a woman… Oh, wait…
Plymouth hip hop heads better be reaching this Top Billin’ on the 23rd of November at White Rabbit! They’ve only gone and got you Jehst with full live band! Telling you now so you have no excuse not to write it in your diaries… I know all you rude boys rep the filofax! ;)
Have a good weekend full of ridiculous outfits, heavy music and brilliant company! Come on, I wanna see those faces melting!
Busy busy busy but that’s the way I like it! After tonight I’ll be adding shots from Foundation Music’s Crimbo Bubbler to that list as well, hopefully see you there! :)
In other news I’m now accepting bookings for more ‘traditional’ photo shoots such as family portraits, maternity photographs, weddings, etc. A lot of my friends are either currently pregnant or have just had their babies (congratulations to you all, what a lovely Christmas present!) so I’ll be doing some shots for them.
If you’re stuck for something to buy your loved ones for Christmas have you considered booking a photo shoot? Can do all sorts of packages depending on what you want at you don’t have to set a date, they can do that in the new year at a time that suits them. Feel free to ask for info in either my ask box or via Facebook (my email inbox is a bit full at the moment so it’s taking me a while to get back to everyone what with everything I’m doing but I promise you I’m not ignoring any of you and you’ll receive your responses as soon as possible).
Anyways, back to editing!
All in all I really have had an amazing few days so a super big thank you and lots of love goes out to everyone involved in making it what it was!
Shot Fractal’s birthday at Voodoo Lounge on Friday was heavy! Definitely going to need to start wearing ear plugs when I photograph for the Rigsmith HiFi crew though haha, certainly bring the dirty, filthy bass and boy oh boy do they do it loud! Hell no I’m not complaining, bass in your face Plymouth ;D Had a lush night photographing Unleashed presents SpectraSoul at White Rabbit on Saturday too, they played a heavy set as to be expected. Photographs from both nights, as well as my first ever maternity shoot of the gorgeous Laura and more from the impromptu photo shoot with Jenivieve styled by the lovely Wendy Ward, will be uploaded to my Facebook and main blog as soon as possible. I’ve needed time recover and come back down to earth after the most hectic week of shoots I’ve had in a while! As much as I’d like to possess super powers that enable me to shoot and process even more than I do already, whilst still having some kind of social life, unfortunately I’m not that lucky so you guys just have to suck it up and be patient sometimes I’m afraid ;) After Unleashed I met up with the fabulous people partying hard over at Morphic Space Presents Magic Carpet which was lush too, so many wonderful souls.
It’s all go go go again tomorrow with the Melty Face crew bringing you another dirty Dubstep Tuesday at White Rabbit and then the Tsunami Soundwave/Rigsmith HiFi/Pressure Roots HiFi 3 system sound clash on Friday! That’s 3 sound systems in one room, with additional sounds downstairs and outside, Voodoo Lounge you better be ready!
Think I may need to start wearing ear plugs when working for Rigsmith Hifi in future before I go deaf haha, they’re just that damn heavy! Loving that my life is filled with so many talented and amazing people at the moment, it’s definitely kicking me out of my inspiration block so hopefully I the recent wave of things I’ve been busy with continue for a while at least, I feel so much better when I’m productive so this is definitely what I need in my life now that I’m back on the road to recovery.
Oh, and just because I can, here’s a few of my favourite snaps from Top Billin’ presents Stig of the Dump on Wednesday.
