Duff McKagan and Four Four Two Magazine

Another busy week is underway at SJN Towers! After a weekend spent partly in Blackpool photographing loads of MPs and a day at RedShift Radio for the special photo day we have loads underway this week.

On Tuesday night I was off to London to meet and photograph former Guns ‘n Roses musician Duff McKagan. Duff is now with Loaded and I met him at The Garage in Islington. We did some portraits followed by some live shots of the last gig on their UK tour! Great gig it was too!

I recently received a request from the famous football magazine Four Four Two for some images of Nantwich Town manager Jimmy Quinn. I photographed the former Northern Ireland international leading up to my exhibition at the Lyceum Theatre earlier in the year. The resulting article is in the December issue and is a humorous take on Jimmy featuring on the bench for the Dabbers due to suspensions and injuries! I photographed Jimmy in a charity match in which he found the back of the net against Franco Baresi’s AC Milan Legend XI.

Still got lots on over the rest of the week. Guillemots stop by Crewe on Thursday at The Box. On the same night I’ll be photographing three times world champion professional darts player John Part. John is taking part in an exhibition with WTD Promotions at Crewe Alex’s Carlsberg Suite. Friday sees another gig at the Box before a weekend which will involve heading down to Milton Keynes for the historic match between the MK Dons and Nantwich Town in the first round of the FA Cup. Sunday I have a family shoot followed by a music promo for local band The Retrospective!

Special Photo Sitting Days in Crewe

The blog is back, lets hope its here to stay!! I’ll kick things off with a quick post about the special photo sitting days I am holding in the lead up to Christmas. I have organised a set of photo days at various locations which means you can take advantage of our £20 for a shoot and print offer. Its great value for Christmas presents and we offer the usual fantastic quality!

You are free to select your favourite image and have it printed as you desire, in colour or in monochrome. You can also select any other images if you like and may choose to upgrade to one of our good value packages or to a canvas print. There’s no hard selling, you get a unique login and can select your images at your leisure online!

To kick things off we are heading over to RedShift Radio on 6th November and then a week later we will be at The Box on Pedley Street. We are open to Newborns, Kids Photos, Family, pets or professional portraits for social media use! If you are after a nice pro portrait to use on Twitter or Facebook you can choose to have a web resolution digital image instead of the print ready to upload!
