Music Promo Photography: The Siren Sisters | Concorde

We had the pleasure of photographing a charity ball in the wonderful surroundings of The Concorde Hangar at Manchester Airport. We were on site to photograph guests and provide on the night prints to contribute towards the charity funds and also to document the evening for the charity to use for press releases.

One of the acts on the night were the vintage trio The Siren Sisters, who entertained the attendees upon arrival. We got some photos of the trio in action as well as some promo photos with the special backdrop of the Concorde aircraft. It was great, if a little unexpected, to get private access to photograph on Concorde! Below are some more photos of The Siren Sisters at The Concorde Hangar at Manchester Airport.

Music Photography: Aldo

Client: Aldo Ennakhli
Photographer: Simon J. Newbury

We were recently commissioned to make a set of images for local musician Aldo. He is currently working an album release and wanted a professional set of images to use for promotional purposes and for artwork on his releases. We opted for a studio shoot and went for a black and white feel to fit with the mood of his music. Aldo had checked out our music photography and we had a consultation ahead of the shoot to make sure we captured the essence of Aldo and his music!

Aldo said:

I just wanted to write a review about my photo-shoot with simon. He was very professional from start to finish we got to work with out any awkwardness and produced some great shots. It was my 1st pro shoot and Simon encouraged me to loosen up and make the most of it, I had great fun! He communicated with me attentively via email and catered to my needs and produced I was looking for, I love the website also! I love that you’re able to ‘favourite’ images from the shoot so you can remember also how simple and easy the process of getting my final images was. The techniques Simon used via Photoshop to sharpen and enhance the shots is outstanding and fit for anyone in the industry.. in just 1 week after the shoot I was constantly given feedback as to where he was at with things and when I would receive the final products. I’m now left with images I can use for various different things, music artwork, portfolio, acting agents etc. He really covered all the bases and I’m as impressed as I am grateful. I would just like to thank Simon and his team for the understanding and patience to capture a timeless shoot that I can use for a long time to come!

These are some of the portrait photos from the session:

Client: James Porter
Photographer: Simon J. Newbury

We met James a few years ago through Boxjam, the charity event we organise every year at The Box in Crewe. When we ran over 2 days James’ then band travelled over from Anglesey to play both stages over 2 days. We have remained in touch ever since and James got in touch to get some new publicity photos for publicising his new material as a solo musician.

James was very interested in the Urban Portrait style of photography so we did some photography in that style as well as some great black and white photos. It was great to work with such an enthusiastic musician who had travelled some way to work with us. We listened to James’ newest recordings in advance of the shoot to help get some inspiration.

We had a really good Sunday afternoon of music photography in Crewe and here are some of the results:

 Music Photography: Hybrid.9 Promo Shoot

Cheshire band Hybrid.9 took advantage of our special offer on band photography to celebrate this years Crewe Live. After our consultation we decided on a location shoot and using the Urban Portrait series as inspiration we chose a location in Crewe that offered us a variety of backdrops in close proximity.

The photos certainly fit in well with the Urban Portrait project and Hybrid.9 are pleased with the results:

The band arrived one light-fading evening at a location suggested by Simon & Tina to give a fantastic local backdrop to the band photos. Working inside & out the pair worked with us to achieve some great band shots which are really happy with. It was our first photo shoot so not entirely sure how it was going to go, but we were in good hands. The pair had ideas which fitted well with our expectations and produced some strong imposing shots, even though most of the time we were having a laugh. Really pleased with the photos, and had some very positive comments about them.
Thanks to Simon J Newbury Photography.
