Some of my work - Definitely a proud moment

In March this year, I volunteered to do some event photography for a local music festival, which was organised by a 3rd year Music Journalism student. My role as photographer was to use VIP access to capture a variety of shots of each of the 10 acts. The festival was a huge success and I was really happy with the images that I got out of the experience. The festival itself was based outside the Guildhall in the town centre, and the students had set up a stage and a DJ tent for people to enjoy for no charge. 'Smile in the Square' was a brilliant day for me, as a photographer, because it gave me some extra experience in event photography. Here are just a few of the shots:

This experience was one that I will remember for a long time, and the images will all be revealed in my portfolio. I took over 600 images during the day, and  have narrowed them down to only 300-400. The guys who led the festival should be incredibly proud, as I got to see first hand all of the preparation that went into it. It really made me think about the fact that all musical acts come from small local bands - so all of the acts that I photographed could one day be as big as some of the worldwide artists that we see today.
