Brentford Festival - 007 - The Secret

A great shoot this one! A hard one to get used to though, another festival, this time as the official photographer. Not a huge one like most would want but a perfect way to get some notice as well as getting used to crushing press deadlines, horrid when you are expected by the managers to turn out a photo of every stall, every act as well as plenty of shots of the crowd all in one night!! Had to shoot in a pretty standardized way here, just normal shots still great fun and really hectic trying to get the bulk of the work done and still get back in time to get 5-10 minutes with each act  

Another shot of Alan Doubloon from 'The Secret' here, difficult only having a couple of minutes to work with each band throughout the festival, gives a real sense of urgency and really holds the focus! Role on the days of being part of a team of photographers and having a stage to yourself for the day, rather than the whole event!! (competition with other photographers at bigger gigs granted, but having the time and the freedom to make great shots sure beats being rushed )
