Twinkling lights, festive frivolity and oodles of glühwein…Birmingham Christmas Market 2011

18 December, 2011 by amydavies

As it’s just one week until the big day (scary how this has crept on me this year), I thought I’d bring you a special festive post! I actually visited the Birmingham Christmas Frankfurt Market in November just after it opened, but I knew I wanted to save the pictures until a more appropriate time… so here they are. The market is the biggest Christmas market in the UK, and it really does seem huge. I’m sure it’s got a […]

Gig photography: Pint of 45 presents, The Milk Race, Hysterical Injury, My Pet Monster, Breichiau Hir, The Fine Line and Cat vs Bear

5 December, 2011 by amydavies

This post’s title probably sounds like it’s some sort of über gig with all those acts. The truth is, this is two gigs but the first set got trapped in my backlog of photos I need to edit. Shameful. It was all the way back in August that I took the first set, but, I was hindered by my lack of flash. The first Po45 gig I photographed, I’d borrowed a flash off gig photographer extraordinaire Simon Ayre, but, this […]

Barcelona: Cross Processed

4 December, 2011 by amydavies

This is my final set of images from the beautiful city of Barcelona. I do have a few more stored on my hard drive, but, none of them make a coherent set so I think, for now at least, that’s where they will stay. These photos are all taken with my Olympus PEN E-P3, whereas all the others were shot with my DSLR. As you can tell these are all using the Cross Process filter, which I’m pretty unashamedly in […]

Portraits: Lee for We Are Cardiff

3 December, 2011 by amydavies

I love shooting portraits, in fact if I had to pick one genre to only shoot from now on, it’d (probably) be that. There’s only one downside – finding willing victims volunteeers. That’s why it’s really a privilege and a lot of fun to be involved with the wonderful We Are Cardiff project, which brings together the stories of the people who live in the city. For this latest set of shots I photographed Lee, who wanted to be pictured […]

Barcelona: Parc Guell

1 December, 2011 by amydavies

This is my penultimate set of pictures from Barcelona – I’m saving something special for the very last one (or at least I think it is…). These are all taken in Parc Guell, Gaudi’s beautiful park space that was originally intended to be a little “village”, but sadly never quite worked out. Well… it’s not that sad as it means we all get to share in its splendour. It’s one of the busiest places in Barcelona, so trying to get […]
