 Press Photography: Match of the Day Magazine

We were recently commissioned to photograph a VIP day held in honour of competition winners by JD Sports at Crewe Alex FC. The young winners had entered and won a competition held by JD Sport. The prize was a special day out in the Directors Box at Crewe Alex v Oldham in League One. There was a meal before the game and also the chance to meet Crewe manager Steve Davis. The lads were also each presented with a Carbrini goody bag. The competition was featured in the BBC’s Match Of The Day Magazine so we were commissioned to get a set of photos of the three lads who won the competition enjoying their VIP day at The Alexandra Stadium. The final article was written up as a double page spread  in Issue 301 of the weekly publication.

Press Photography: FA Trophy Final 2014

It has been a good season of football photography for Simon J. Newbury Photography. I have struggled to get to as many Nantwich Town games as I would have liked this season as I have been working for the national press at a number of games around the North West. I have mainly been commissioned by The Non League Paper and have visited a number of clubs for the paper.

Locally I have covered Winsford, Witton Albion and Leek. I have also headed off to Stafford Rangers and Wrexham. Wrexham are a former League club currently competing in the Skrill Premier. They won the FA Trophy last season, and paraded the Trophy at a recent fixture I was at to photograph prior to handing it back in time for this years final.

Music Photography: Jake Bugg Live @ The Ritz

This was my first visit to The Ritz in Manchester. I have of course photographed at many venues across Manchester so it was nice to add a new venue to the list! It’s a great venue with a 1500 capacity. Thankfully it is also blessed with great lights!

The Jake Bugg show was a complete sell out so the place was buzzing. First on stage were The Silent Palms from Georgia, USA. They went down well with the crowd.
