CHOO CHOO, Bern Strobist day

Tuesday, 5th May 2009 • Friends and Family, Individual photographs, Music3 comments

This is the kind of shot that I hope to achieve more by continuing to work with CHOO CHOO in future. They’re a great bunch, not just musically but also fun and motivated; being around them infuses everyone with energy, once they get going!

Choo Choo at Funk am See, Lucerne, Switzerland

Saturday, 16th August 2008 • Event galleries, PhotographyNo comments

Swiss band Choo Choo call their music “60s garage pop”, drawing influences from 60s teenage beat, pop and soul as well as contemporary garage rock. I have photographed them in the Dälhölzli woods and back lanes of the old city of Switzerland’s capital, Bern, as well as at the Funk am See open air festival in Lucerne.

Would you like me to photograph your event? I’m more than happy to come along and document an event, either within Switzerland (where I live) or internationally where possible. Please check out my price list and get in touch!
