On tour with We Are The Ocean

Marcus — Wed, 27 Apr 2011 00:15:18 +0000

I went on tour with the boys from We Are The Ocean for a few days (London, Bristol and Stoke) to promote the release of their latest album and I photographed and video’d the tour as it went on. The guys are super nice and I love working with them so it was a great time together.

This video is just some of that footage.

The album is called GO NOW AND LIVE and track playing through this video is from the album and it is ‘Overtime Is A Crime’. Make sure to get a copy of it … it’s a cracker.

Some of the photos from the tour can be seen HERE.

We Are The Ocean in Studio

The guys from We Are The Ocean went into recording at Stakeout Studios for a week to work on some new tracks for a special edition re-release of their debut album “Cutting Our Teeth” and I joined them for two days to photograph their working process and just document some of their process.

It was incredible to see everything take shape, rattle the guys brains, watch them work and just spend some good quality hang time with them.

I am not an editor and I used my wife’s happy snap camera to film these short clips so don’t expect anything great from this but thought it might be worth sharing anyway.

You can see a few of the photos HERE.

Photo shoot with Adelphia of Kings

Back last month I had a shoot with the guys from Adelphia of Kings (ex The Glass Empire) so I traveled down to the Isle of Wight for the day to shoot with them which was really good fun. I filmed a bunch of footage with my wife’s happy snapper point and shoot and quickly pasted the footage together and this is it.

I will post a few of the photos later when the guys launch their MySpace.

Photoshoot with Zebra and Giraffe Video Blog

I had a photo shoot with Zebra and Giraffe at the end of November last year and it’s been a really crazy busy time since then but their guitarist, Alan Shenton filmed and edited a short video of our time together on his iPhone 3GS.

This is the video. Hope you are all well. Marcus

Shooting with Papa Roach

Marcus — Wed, 29 Jul 2009 10:41:22 +0000

I shot a few portrait press photographs for Clink Music Magazine with the guys from Papa Roach last month at Oxford Academy and it was super easy to work with them. Honestly not knowing much about their music I decided to stay for the live show which really was one of my favourites this year. The band has an onstage presence that is almost engulfing and they all make you feel like it means the world to them that you are there. It’s weird but in a really cool way.

Anyway, I am telling you all of this because during the time they were being followed around by the guys from Pocket TV filming a tour diary of sorts during their Oxford stay and I just got sent the video which came out really rad. You can see me shooting with the band in the rain on the roof (around 2min35) and then again snippets of me shooting the show during their live set.

If you are at all a PR fan then you should watch the video so you can get to know them a little bit more and if you aren’t you should watch it anyway and see me hard at work, I think the video will interest you enough to want to give them a listen which will be worth it in the end. Some people say they are arrogant but I never saw this during the time we spent with them. It wasn’t long but don’t always believe what you read.

This is one of the portrait shots (see more here) that I shot and below is one of the live shots (see more here). You really need to see the portraits high resolution to appreciate them because it was raining quite hard and you can see each of the drops. If you care to see a higher res image, contact me and I will send it on to you.

Oxymoron Actual Video

I just arrived back from the Kruger National Park (photographs up shortly) and I had the best time ever with my misses.

We have received some amazing feedback for the Zebra and Giraffe – Oxymoron music video that we created and I thought that I would post the video up for you have a look at. The quality is really not that good on this version so if you have DSL, please follow THIS LINK and then click to see the high quality version (bottom right of video).

Have a super day as always, Marcus
