GSM | Gig

Yesterday Morning I shot the band GSM at their local school, It was the shortest gig I have ever shot at around 10mins, I was running around like a bit of a mad man, the lighting was pretty bad too, But it was alot of fun.

Here are a few of the shots.

Pancho Brothers | Unplugged

Last night I shot the Pancho Brothers as they rocked an acoustic gig, Jake is a very good friend of mine so sitting on the stage wasn't a problem, it also helps that he's the most amazing musician you will ever see. There wasn't alot of room to work with as it was held in a small Irish pub but here are a few of the shots I got.

South Island | trip

Last week I traveled down to the South Island of New Zealand for my Grandads 70th, And upon returning to the beautiful town of Blenheim I wasn't going to leave my camera at home, so we hired a car and drove to Kaikoura where most of these shots were taken, I had my Girlfriend spot for cars as I wondered out onto an open road to get a few shots of the snow covered alps, despite the terrific wind and finger chilling temperature I managed to squeeze a few shots away, most of these panoramic images consist of around 6 files.

Thirty Years Late | Photoshoot

These are from a recent photoshoot I did with kiwi rock band

Thirty Years Late, We did alot of planning for these shots and overall the band was pretty happy with them! go and check them out aswell.


Testimonial:

"///Thirty Years Late employed Mathew late July 2009 for promotional band photographs. He provided a high level of professionalism, enthusiasm and efficiency. His creative suggestions helped refine the look we were aiming for and the end results blew us away. Not only were they of a very high standard but also very unique. Overall we would highly recommend Mathew as he was able to far exceed our expectations, and will continue to use him for future needs."
