British Polo Championship 2015 / Sandbanks Poole

/

Its that time of the year again, where the richest wealthiest and most beautiful head down to Poole for the British Polo Championship. I wasn't actually meant to be covering this event but after speaking to some friends in great places a Press band was mine. This year, Jodie Kidd, Debra Stephenson and many more famous faces set to attend.

Theres nothing not to like about this exotic beach event to make your weekend a good one, the weather was perfect and couldn't have asked for better! It was great too see the venue in perfect condition and inside the main marquee you can expect to find comfy sofas and seating along with some very fine dining if your V.VIP.

I wish I could say I could afford to stick around longer but not being in the same league as some of these high rollers means excessive parking charges and expensive drinks soon rack up to a very expensive day out. 

The Marquees and venue are put together by the great guys and girls at SEVENTA in which every event I seem to attend, they put together an ever impressive venue setup with food, entertainment and drink facilities. 

Hers a little taster of this weekend so far!

Bestival Months

/

Bestival is on its way! I was going to wait until after to post but couldn't wait to mention it. This will be another great experience, shooting from a different publication perspective but (hush hush at the moment) all will be revealed as the festival kicks off. 

Bestival is a wonderful festival with lots of colour, hills amazing acts and stages. I think one of my most favourite places to visit, stage wise would have to be the Port I hope to see my friends from AREA51 there this year, as they are some of the best Fire and dance acts I've seen! 

We have some headline acts so far, such as Missy Elliot, Duran Duran, and The Chemical Brothers, of course more to follow and I cannot wait to see who we have showing up next! 

Im heading down on Thursday afternoon with the car since its all sorted and will hopefully be seeing lots of my Photo-Family from up and down the country. 

More to come as the festival starts but its safe to say, IM EXCITED!

Stevie Johnson - Lost Garden Bournemouth

/

Now as many of you know or do not know I've been covering club nights for about 8 years now, working mainly around Southampton & Bournemouth. Its been a while since I've shot at lost Garden since its refurbishment and launch some years back. Anyway I was called Monday for a job to cover a PA from Made in Chelsea's Stevie Johnson. I don't mind these events as its a good bit of fun and something different. So here we go...

Kind Regards to Lost Garden Staff & Security

This year has been so productive and its only June, my third year shooting this historic festival but first time officially. The Isle of Wight has been stage to so many legends in its time from Jimi Hendrix to this years Fleet Wood Mac. With so many great acts playing at so many new and exciting stages, there was a lot of responsibility to make sure the images we captured were up to a very high standard and captured the essence of what the festival stands for. 

Heres a few images from this year, found on the Isle of Wight Festival website and Facebook page. 

"Special thanks to the guys and girls at Dawbell and Solo PR for all your help and buggy runs! Not forgetting the existing Isle of Wight Festival team who were so welcoming. Liz Murray, Callum Baker, Sara Lincoln, Dylan Roberts."
