The Pretenders live at Spark Arena

They were full of energy and Chrissy Hyde was the classic front person, running when she was playing her guitar as well as when she was just holding the microphone. The allotted location for photographers was at the back of the arena by the sound desk so long lenses were the order of the day! You can see the rest […]

Lorde live at the Powerstation, Auckland

Alison Moyet live in Auckland

Alison Moyet performed at Auckland’s ASB Theatre last week. I was there to take some photos for Getty Images which you can see in colour here.  Unfortunately the photoing conditions were a bit tricky so the ones here have had quite a bit of editing which made them unsuitable for Getty Images.  But you can enjoy them here instead 🙂
