FOR THREE MANIC DAYS EACH MAY, BRIGHTON HOSTS THE GREAT ESCAPE, A MUSIC FESTIVAL THAT IN SOME
WAYS IS THE EUROPEAN EQUIVALENT OF SXSW. AS ONE OF THE OFFICIAL PHOTOGRAPHERS, I HAD
UNRESTRICTED ACCESS TO THE GIGS AND THE EVENTS. WITH SO MUCH TO SHOOT, I’VE PUT TOGETHER
THREE SEPARATE IMAGE COLLECTIONS, ONE FOR EACH DAY. THROUGH THESE PICTURES I’VE TRIED TO TELL
THE STORY OF THE GREAT ESCAPE AS I WITNESSED IT. DAY THREE WAS NOTABLE FOR ME AS IT WAS THE
FIRST TIME I’D EVER SHOT A LIVE GIG USING A TRIPOD. I SPENT MOST OF THE AFTERNOON AT KOMEDIA
SHOOTING SOME GREAT CANADIAN BANDS PRESENTED BY CANADA BLAST. I THEN COVERED THE
GUILLEMOTS AT THEIR OUTDOOR STREET GIG BEFORE ENDING UP AT A PACKED CORN EXCHANGE WHERE I
SHOT TWO OF THE BIGGEST BANDS AT THIS YEAR’S ESCAPE. NEW ZEALAND’S THE NAKED AND FAMOUS
WERE FIRST. NO TRIPOD THIS TIME, BUT THE LIGHTING WAS REALLY GOOD AND THEN THE MOMENT OF
MADNESS, THE HEADLINERS, THE VACCINES. SO MANY PHOTOGRAPHERS WANTED TO SHOOT THEM, WE
WERE DIVIDED INTO THREE GROUPS WHO EACH GOT JUST ONE (INCREDIBLY SHORT) SONG. I WAS IN THE
LAST GROUP AND MANAGED TO FIRE OFF A FEW SHOTS BEFORE DISASTER STRUCK. MY BATTERY DIED (TOO
MUCH SHOOTING ON LIVE VIEW EARLIER IN THE DAY!) AND BY THE TIME I’D CHANGED BATTERIES THE SONG
WAS OVER. I GOT ONE SHOT. FORTUNATELY, IT WAS A GOOD ONE! I REALLY LIKE THE WAY THESE IMAGES
HAVE COME OUT AND HOW MY STYLE IS EVOLVING. I HOPE YOU DO TOO!
