I think if ever I write an autobiography I will entitle it 'People I have had the Pleasure not to Know' as I have photographed many famous people from Royalty downwards, but seldom do I ever get the opportunity to talk to them, much less 'connect' with them. Last night I had the great pleasure of photographing that tremendous jazz singer Imelda May and not only did I get the opportunity to talk to her but we actually connected during a brief conversation. What a lovely lady who 'played' to my camera so I got some great shots with a personal input. Photographing on stage is always difficult because you are relying on available light, which is far darker than you would think, whilst using long lenses and struggling with apertures and shutter speeds. For the technical readers, I was shooting at around 1/50 at f2.8, and that was at 800iso! You can see the full Imelda May gallery at my web site very shortly.
