My 2010 Review!

As 2010 draws to a close I thought it would be great to take a look back on the year that has been for Annabel Staff Photography!

There's been a lot of live work this year - more gigs than ever in fact - I totalled up forty five this year!  You can see some of my favourite gigs in the video - the images I hope stand out the most.  Along with all the live work for Getty / Redferns I was able to fit in some other stuff as well.  I tried to engage in more personal work than I have in recent years - and that is something else I hope to grow even more next year, some of my favourite personal work from this year has been included in the video.

Also another new aspect that I hope to get into in a big way next year - showcasing new talent in the music industry.  My good friend and exceptionally original artist, Smatka, provided me with the soundtrack for my review - not only that, but it's also her latest work, so I am really excited to be showcasing it here.

I would like to produce a review every month starting next year, and I will be looking to get music from unsigned artists and bands to use as each month's soundtrack.  I know this is something that will take a while to get going - but I'd like to start spreading the word as soon as possible.
So if you know anyone who you think should be considered please point them in my direction - it's a great way to promote yourself and to get the best of the un-heard music out there into the open.  It would be a great thing to be able to support emerging artists, being one myself I know how hard it is.

More on that soon - in the meantime I hope you enjoy the review, and please leave some feedback if you feel so inclined!

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!
