Itchy Trigger Finger launch their long-awaited E.P ‘The Wrong Side of Misery’ tonight and this is the center-piece inside. A 180 degree room-span of the lads practicing, made up of over 30 photographs which took me 4 days to create.

The E.P also features my shots on the front and back cover aswell as a collage of over a years work with the band inside. Their new website will also feature 150 of my photogrpahs.
For more details on the E.P, my work with the band and creating this piece, check out my blog.

I got my first chance to properly use my new Nikon D80 last night on Daw’s brand new drumkit as Itchy Trigger Finger begin practicing for their tour. Last year I used a D70 for the first time, for a shoot as Daw recorded drum tracks with the Happy Medium.

With my brand new camera and plenty of gigs, practices and recordings to come over the summer, this shot marks the return of my Summer Sessions.

The summer is over and its time for those long cold evenings best spent in by the fire, or in my case out in the dark taking photos.

UPDATE: This photograph was used on the front cover of the Itchy Trigger Finger E.P ‘The Wrong Side of Misery’.

A spontaneous portrait of Pam from Itchy Trigger Finger taken using KenMc’s Nikon D70 with a 50mm lens. I took this one during the recording of Perfect Reality, which is now available on the the lads myspace profile. Check it out.

Itchy Trigger Finger began recording on Monday which gave me a chance to finally get frontman Jimmy Trigger standing still for a change.

Still finding my way around KenMc’s Nikon D70 using a very nice 50mm lens. Trying some new angles and approaches to lighting this time. Any comments or feedback would be greatly appreciated.

A promotional piece for Itchy Trigger Finger. Took this shot at our first promo shoot together. A spotlight on frontman Jimmy Trigger, I adjusted the levels and darkened the background. Then using the cloning tool in Photoshop,  I took the ITF face logo from Jimmys tattoo on his left arm and placed it on his hands.

The lads are currently working on their cd, practicing in my house as I post this. A couple more promo shoots planned with them over the summer and a video aswell.
