American vibraphonist, record producer and composer Roy Ayers has passed away aged 85 - RIP.
I was lucky enough to see him perform three times - these photos are from the Womad Festival in Wiltshire UK, 2009. But my best memory was him and a three piece band playing in a small basement called The Magnet here in Liverpool to a crowd of about 200 people - brilliant.
If you want to use these images please contact me for licencing - thanks

Another busy couple of weeks on commission with repeat and regular clients photographing conferences. This time multi-day events in Manchester and London. Including evening drinks receptions and President's Dinners.
Out and about on location for another busy day completing a commercial photography project. This time the end client was Adidas and as one of the main sponsors of the Manchester Marathon 2025, they needed coverage of their brand presence in and around the event.
In the last few months, my camera has captured the energy, elegance, and essence of numerous events, from corporate gatherings to public relations campaigns, each presenting its unique challenges and opportunities. Here’s a look at some of my recent projects and how I’ve approached capturing these moments through my lens.
"Just wanted to drop you a line to say thank-you so much for the brilliant job you did for us in Bootle barracks the other week - we hit the Echo and also the Plymouth Daily (where we have an interest in veterans services) so we were dead chuffed. Excellent Public Relations / Press style photography."
