Animal Windfest 2010

On Sept 12th I spent the day on the beach at Animal Windfest. Sandbanks, Dorset, is the beautiful location for the annual Windfest which is now in its 12th year. The organisers do an amazing job.  Animal Windfest is the only free daytime beach sports festival in the UK. The schedule for the weekend is immense; Animal Bike Show, Red Bull Skate ramp, Ultimate Beach Frisbee, Beach Volleyball, Red Bull Matadors Aerobatic display, Wake Boarding and the list goes on.

It was a great day, the sun was shining, though unfortunately the weather didn’t provide the wind needed for all the water events. I love photographing the Animal Bike Shows and the Red Bull Skate ramp. Have to confess I have never actually been on a skate ramp before, had to ask how to get to the top; run!! How to get back down; yep run! I took the girly option and slid back down the ramp on my butt!!

If you live in the Dorset area I definitely recommend checking out Animal Windfest next year…

A brand new band…

A brand new band based in the London area got in touch needing some promo images. The band wanted to do the shoot in their local area at an abandoned airstrip, we were so lucky to have gorgeous weather. The airstrip turned out to be an awesome location, creating the backdrop we were looking for. Guys you were great to work with, thanks for such a fun shoot. x
