Thanks to the awesome Emma, I got to go down and shoot Hyro Da Hero at The Borderline. I photographed him doing a stripped down set at Download last summer and managed to get a portrait of him. I'd seen loads of photos of his normal shows and he seemed to have a lot of energy and threw himself around a lot. I totally didn't realise until I was in the venue that Marmozets were supporting and they are really good (expect them to be huge over the next year or so).

The Borderline is a strange venue to shoot in as it has an odd shaped stage and lighting which is mostly ambient rather than spotlights/direct lighting. I shot Marmozets without flash which meant waiting for some of their calmer moments but for Hyro I wanted to try and use flash. I seem to always say this but I wanted to try and work on my flash technique and I'm fairly happy with the results. There's one shot of Hyro crowd surfing after his set which was a quick 'hail Mary' shot and the focus is out by a small amount which was frustrating. Sean Smith from The Blackout also joined Hyro onstage which was a bonus.

There are more Hyro Da Hero photos here.

I've also stuck up a couple of sets of photos from January which are Enter Shikari at New Slang which I shot for Photo Pit and a set of portraits I did of Moones in Highgate.

You can see more of the Enter Shikari shots here.

The rest of the Moones portraits can be seen here.

I had a photo published in last weeks NME of La Femme. It was my first commission from them which is kind of a big deal for me.
