Rodrigo y Gabriela at Shepherds Bush Empire...

Another favourite of mine are Rodrigo y Gabriela, they are truly a unique and awe inspiring talent and watching them is captivating.  The speed at which they play their guitars is mind blowing, they deserve more exposure than they get - but at least their shows at Shepherds Bush Empire were sold out, which is testament to just how brilliant they are.

I remember first hearing about them about three or four years ago when they were playing Latitude festival in Suffolk, and I missed their set to my dismay - the classic clashing of set times, I don't even remember who I chose to watch over them now, but I kicked myself when a friend came out of the tent they were playing in looking like he'd just had an epiphany and sang their praises to the nth degree.

Here's a couple of shots from their show...

About Me

My photo
I am a London based photographer specialising in music, portraits and commercial photography. I trained in Graphic Design for four years then went on to complete a degree in fashion photography at the London College of Fashion. My passion for photography was spurned from my dad who used to be an extremely talented amateur photographer, he will always be my inspiration for everything I do... I have had work published in a variety of mediums including iD, Time Out, Billboard magazine, The Times, The Guardian, MTV and the BBC, as well as producing campaigns for charities such as Age Concern and Cancer Research UK. I live and breathe the work I do, I'm happy to say I'm an addict to photography and hope never to sober up... you can always expect dedication to the work that I do, so if anyone out there is looking for a photographer to commission -pick me!
