Welcome to my flickr, I'm a music photographer based in London, UK.

Originally trained as a cinematographer I moved to London in 2002 where I became a regular contributor to NME magazine amongst many others. Over the past seven years my assignments have enabled me to work with the best new breaking bands, as well as the most successful acts in the music and entertainment business.

Most of the shots on here are from the last few years and have been shot 35mm film, digital slrs or medium format film. I shoot a broad mixture of styles, from behind the scenes documentary, to fully produced studio & location portraits.

Clients include: ROLLING STONE, DISORDER, Arena, DAZED AND CONFUZED, UNCUT, CLASH, DUMMY, NME, N.E.E.T., ELLE, and THE OBSERVER, as well as featuring in promotional material for major and independant record labels worldwide.

This was originally an underground beta test site, and currently only shows a tiny fraction of my recent work that is allowed to be public. It was designed to keep everyone distracted until my permanent website was constructed, but I think it'll stay around for a while as Flickr has proved to be a great place to meet and support new photographers . Photos will come and go as the site regularly updates.

I try to help as many new photographers as I can, breaking into music photography can be hard, for some basic advice please listen to this podcast from 2006! podcast

* jameslooker.com is another photographer in Australia, lucky man! It is not the website of music photographer James Looker and features none of his images which can be found at here
