 Music Photography: The Eyres Promo

We have worked with The Eyres many times since their inception as Sink Or Swim. They have gone through several line-up changes so keep us busy with lots of photography! The latest line-up needed some new photos ahead of some upcoming shows at The Box, Crewe and other great venues so we got together and produced a set of studio images. As it warms up outside we are planning to head out for some location photos to add to their vast collection!

It’s always good fun working with The Eyres. Lead singer Oli Ng was also with us all day for Boxjam V, the charity event we organise every year at The Box in Crewe. Thank Oli, and the rest of The Eyres!

 Business Portrait Photography: Heather

We were recently commissioned to produce a set of portrait images of Heather Carter, founder of the 1st National Sales Academy. I spent some time to get to know Heather so I could really represent Heather in the portrait photography. I decided to photograph Heather in her workplace, as well as a few outdoor shots to compliment the selection.

Heather is currently using the portrait photos on her social media profiles. The images were also used in a short promotional video as stills overlaying audio. Heather is a thoroughly engaging character and I had great fun meeting and photographing her!

The Doors Alive recently made their debut at The Box in Crewe. Tina went along to photograph the tribute band. It represented the second time that Simon J. Newbury Photography has photographed the band. Back in 2007 we photographed them at DeBees in Winsford. As memory serves this was their first gig with their singer (an absolute dead ringer for Jim Morrison). The Box gig was well attended and below is one of Simon’s photos from back in 2007 followed by some of Tina’s photos from The Box, Crewe!
