RIP: Leonard Cohen - photographs at the Big Chill Festival 2008

Published on Sat Nov 12, 2016 by

Back when I shot the below image I was a recent convert - while I had been aware of his music - I was persuaded to see him at Glastonbury a month earlier that year. A super hot Sunday afternoon spent with friends watching Neil Diamond, Goldfrapp and then Leonard on the Pyramid - and I quickly became a fan. So covering the Big Chill Festival a few weeks later, he was high on my list of priorities, both to photograph and enjoy. The below image was my favourite and I've got an A3 print of it hanging in my hallway. If would like to licence editorial usage please contact me as soon as possible. RIP Leonard.

It’s been a busy few months here, with a great mix of photography projects across the North West. From dynamic business events to striking editorial shoots, I’ve had the chance to work with some brilliant clients and creative teams recently.

I have employed David many times over the years, principally as a music conference and high profile event photographer. He is always easy to work with, has a strong sense of what style is needed for each project and brings back results on deadline. He is skilled, experienced and understands visual language and lighting. Additionally, David often helps secure additional PR and media coverage.
