MOTHERSHIP

I was asked by my friend – the fabulous Lisa Kwei to come and shoot her band at the ACM Guildford Electric Theatre for their finals. I was granted a ‘test shoot’ by the Academy to shoot the band and here are some of the images – reproduced with kind permission of Lisa Kwei and Mothership.

I appreciate the kindness of the Academy for Contemporary Music for letting me shoot the band. Any future work with them will by subject to their copyright and not available here.

This is a great band that is only just at the beginning of their cycle. Like a fine wine with good bottom and great potential – ready for drinking now but as for laying down for leter – that is not up to me!
