Very exciting news!

So today I found out that one of my images (and a personal favourite) of Alison Goldfrapp from this years LED Festival has been used in the very prestigious Getty Images Year in Focus 2010 book.

This book is sent out to all of Getty images' global clients (that's a lot of people!) and is a collective review of what they consider to be the best / most important images of the year.  What makes my inclusion even more special is that the 'Entertainment' pages of the book are only a very small proportion of the overall book since Getty focus more on breaking news stories and documentary work, and on top of that I am the only Redferns photographer to be included, which is immense!

Redferns are the picture library I shoot for, who work under the umbrella of Getty Images.  Redferns only shoot music, which makes them unique in the field of image libraries, and it's something all Redferns shooters are very proud of.  It's possibly the most comprehensive music image library in the world.

I am so so thrilled about this, it's a massive boost after putting in tons of effort this year.  I also found out that the Getty Images 2011 calendar - which is also sent out to Getty Images' clients, features the same image of mine and is the ONLY music image to be published in the calendar.

I am so excited I can't stop smiling...anyway, this is starting to sound like an Oscars acceptance speech so I'll sign off for now... woo!

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!
