Classical music photography
Orchestral photography
As a photographer, you can have a good range of subjects to photograph from one day to the next. In and amongst there are jobs that are a delight to be part of and create. My latest work with Airedale Symphony Orchestra is such a pleasure to make photography and coming soon, some video work. My love for classical music has been with me all my life and being around at practice time with these lovely bunch of people is an amazing experience and place to work. I tend to hunt for images, finding those special moments within the space. I can be in the far corner of the room capturing the whole atmosphere of the place or shuffling on my bottom to get a close up of someone really playing and feeling the music. The sound from the orchestra at this distance you feel in your chest. It's so powerful. I have to admit at times, I just sat and listened.
I'm looking forward to finishing up with the photography part of the project to then move onto creating a promo video, to help show the essence of the orchestra and what they do. For anyone who loves classical music in and around Bradford, see them at their next concert. You wont be dissapointed.
