TITLE: Dave and his cheekbones

Like the title, the simplicity and classic aesthetic of this black and white portrait evoke a sense of nostalgia and a sense of timelessness. The monochromatic tones create depth, contrast, and mood.
Is Dave a friend or a stranger ?
Have I seen Dave's cheekbones before?

In November 2018 I was honoured to have 2 of my band images selected as part of a prolific music photography exhibition at Manchester Central Library entitled ‘There Is A Light That Never Goes Out.’ The exhibition features such luminaries as Jill Furmanovsky, Kevin Cummins, Ed Sirrs and Paul Slatery.

I have invested most of my time in to music and I was in a band myself called 'Sister Lovers' In 2016 I appeared in the 'Supersonic' documentary, where I recall the time I invited Oasis to play at King Tuts the night they got signed by Alan McGee... and the rest as they say is history!
