amazing shots man would love to get into this sort of stuff...

 

[koi]

Great pics man, what is it you do?

 

[RyanD]

Gsums - its an interesting sector to be in, some events people can blag passes (its apparent from their pit behaviour) others are locked down. Still anyone can do it imo.

Koi - Im a freelance music tog so these are some of the recent events ive been hired for (ignoring the club stuff as said). Next big events for me are UKF with chase n status/nero/skrillex and eric prydz epic.

Is that Miss Dynamite?

I was wondering where she went, the answer obviously being the cake shop.

Cracking shots as always mate.

 

[Tom]

f**k me, you take a picture!

 

[Leeshez]

[mace¬]

and the thing we are all wondering is does it pay well or just hobby pounds?

More than hobby pounds. Obviously without discussing exact figures im happy, certainly earn more money and have more fun than the average high street retail job. Id like more which is why I also do press pics and corporate stuff on the side as theres less big music events each night with budget for someone to be there all the time. Its been a hard slog though the last 4 years though, same as alot of people self employed. Realistically theres more money in the POP scene than the dance scene where i started.

Koko is a really cool little venue. I was there for the first time a couple of weeks ago.

Nice pictures.

Well a few pictures.

Great shots, that's got to be an interesting job!

I'm shocked I would've thought you'd have been there a fair bit. I find it wierd there, you been to the purple turtle?

 

[Deeg]

No, was supposed to be at purple turtle before KOko, but went and met some mates instead. I've not actually been to a huge amount of venues in London. I lived in Notts for years, so didn't have much of a need to head to London for gigs.

It is a bit of an odd place. But looks really cool.

 

[Scrooge]

The whole of camden is odd, purple turtle freaked me out a bit. All dressed like tramps drinking red stripe and moshing to heavy rock then the next minute d&B/jungle come on and they start pole dancing and raving. Madness.

Lol, sounds like my sort of night.

I remember ending up in a squat gig like that. Full of old school punks with massive mohawks and crusties, and the music swung from awful punk to really heavy dub reggae / dub / DnB and back to punk.

And I drank far too much redstripe.

Almost exactly how you describe, lol.

 

[Scrooge]

The thing is I was supposed to be going to a club on embankment so I was all suited and booted, was a fucked up night.

 

[Deeg]

Ha, nights like that are awesome.

I ended up spending the weekend at reading festival in shoes once. I went out on the piss in Notts one night, woke up in Reading the following day. Got a lift back in a lorry.

Had to buy an army jacket that had some guys army ID in the pocket, lol.

 

[Scrooge]

LOL brilliant, i'm going to town tonight, will probably end up in Croydon or something lol.

 

[Deeg]

LOL, Croydon. Bad times.

 

[gsums]

i have done night clubs ect before but its nothing like this, Done Kissy Sellout (dj) a few weeks ago but nothing as big as this slipped up at the chance to do afrojack and pete tong in edinburgh i was gutted to say the least.

Kissy is wicked shot him last year at a festival I cover. Loved his headphones covered in different coloured eleccy tape haha!

Should have done afrojack, always good for crowd/atmosphere shots when I cover his nights (just a shame his tour manager is a bit OTT) Im not a fan of pete tong tbh, its not very interactive and just always looks pissed off.

 

[gsums]

Kissy was good but he wasnt very well advertised so not a big turn out such a shame!

Kissy had a setup that was just full of lights alot of my pics came out over exposed pain in the ass but was ok! He was in joggers and a wife beater needs to learn more dance moves though! LOL

Afrojack & Pete tong was in a shopping centre which is used for big events and another media firm got in before i got the chance they made a promo video and it looked SICK!

Some cracking shots in there.
