Every year since 2009 Simon J. Newbury Photography has organised (with lots of help from volunteers) Boxjam. Boxjam is a charity music/ variety event held at The Box in Crewe. This year was Boxjam V, spread across two stages with nearly 30 music acts.

We had the pleasure of having a very special band perform for the very first time. We opted to create a buzz about the band and Boxjam by keeping the identity of the band members a secret. After a meeting with the band we arranged a sinister looking photo-shoot of the band appearing to be hostages, complete with burlap sacks covering the band members faces.

Commercial Photography: Olio & Farina

Client: Olio & Farina
Photographer: Simon J. Newbury

Back in January we travelled down to Taunton in Somerset to photograph Olio & Farina. We got a good set of interior images of the restaurant for their planned new website.

We recently added to that set of photographs with some images to really set the scene for an Italian restaurant. We were commissioned to make a set of images that really helped create a Mediterranean atmosphere. The smells in the studio were great with fresh herbs, olives, Parma ham, garlic and tomatoes all part of the props for the photography! Of course, what Italian themes food photo shoot would be complete without pasta. We had about six different types and created a nice set of images to compliment the interior shots! My favourite to photograph has to be the tagliatelle!

The Olio & Farina website has now launched with all the photography supplied by Simon J. Newbury Photography.

Here are a few of our photos from the studio food shoot:

Music Photography: James Porter

Client: James Porter
Photographer: Simon J. Newbury

We met James a few years ago through Boxjam, the charity event we organise every year at The Box in Crewe. When we ran over 2 days James’ then band travelled over from Anglesey to play both stages over 2 days. We have remained in touch ever since and James got in touch to get some new publicity photos for publicising his new material as a solo musician.

James was very interested in the Urban Portrait style of photography so we did some photography in that style as well as some great black and white photos. It was great to work with such an enthusiastic musician who had travelled some way to work with us. We listened to James’ newest recordings in advance of the shoot to help get some inspiration.

We had a really good Sunday afternoon of music photography in Crewe and here are some of the results:

Music Photography: The Hallé Orchestra Live from Jodrell

Event: The Hallé Orchestra Live from Jodrell Bank, Cheshire
Photographers: Simon J. Newbury, Tina Newbury

The fourth and final Transmission from Jodrell Bank in Cheshire this year was the wonderful Hallé Orchestra. A very different event from the previous transmissions and a different atmosphere. It was a night of proms, picnics and exceptional fireworks!

The Hallé said of the event:

A concert inspired by the stars will feature Jupiter and Mars from Holst’s The Planets, classics by Strauss, Mozart and John Williams, as well as a selection of out-of-this-world film music such as Star Wars, Independence Day, E.T., Apollo 13, Close Encounters and more.

The event was a fantastic way to wind up the festival season after a great summer of music photography for us here at Simon J. Newbury Photography. As well as all four Live From Jodrell events we photographed Kendal Calling, The Charlatans at Delamere Forest, The Happy Mondays at Junction 16, Betley, Sandbach Fake Festival as well as Crewe Live and the Nantwich Jazz and Blues Festival!

Here are some of our photos from Live From Jodrell, Transmission 007:

Press Photography: Nantwich Town Squad Photo

Clients: Nantwich Town FC, The Non League Paper
Photographer: Simon J. Newbury

I was asked to be the official photographer to Nantwich Town FC at the start of the 2011-12 season by Chairman Jon Gold. It has been a great addition to my press photography! It’s been a great ride with The Dabbers – the historic FA Cup run which took the club to MK Dons. The same season Nantwich Town lifted the Cheshire Senior Cup.

Last season was somewhat disappointing by the same standards and a change was made at the top. Danny Johnson is now in the Dabbers hotseat. This season kicked off brightly with a 2-0 victory over Kings Lynn Town. It gives me great pleasure to announce that I’ll be with the Cheshire club again this season in the capacity of official photographer!

We got the season off to a good start with the squad photo before the Kings Lynn fixture. The team recorded a good win and I am pleased to say that several photos from the match were published the nationwide Non League Paper.

Up The Dabbers!

Music Photography: Phil Maddocks & Nick Bayes Promo

Client: Phil Maddocks & Nick Bayes
Photographer: Simon J. Newbury

We’ve known local musician Phil Maddocks for ages and he probably holds the record for the most live appearances on our previous local music radio show. We have also done lots of music photography of Phil at many performances! Phil is currently working on an album with Nick Bayes and needed some publicity photographs for his online presence and new website.

Phil & Nick supported The Christians at The Box in Crewe and before their set we made use of the local area for this set of promo photos! You can check out Phil’s wonderful music on his website: Scruffy Harmonica

These are a selection of the promo photos:

Commercial Photography: New Nantwich Town FC Kit

Client: Nantwich Town Football Club, County Insurance
Photographer: Simon J. Newbury

The new football season is nearly here and there is a lot of anticipation at The Weaver Stadium ahead of Nantwich Town’s first season under new manager Danny Johnson. There has been a lot of transfer activity at the club with a lot of new arrivals.

The club has a new look home and away kit this term with the sponsors, County Insurance from Crewe, signing up for another season of sponsoring both kits. The new logo is much bolder than last year and should show up very well in the match action shots!

Nantwich Town Chairman Jon Gold has decided to make some large advertising boards with the new kit photographs. The photos will be displayed at life size at the club’s Weaver Stadium!

Music Photography: Hybrid.9 Promo Shoot

Music Photography: Hybrid.9
Photographer: Simon J. Newbury
Location: Crewe, Cheshire


 Music Photography: Hybrid.9 Promo Shoot

Cheshire band Hybrid.9 took advantage of our special offer on band photography to celebrate this years Crewe Live. After our consultation we decided on a location shoot and using the Urban Portrait series as inspiration we chose a location in Crewe that offered us a variety of backdrops in close proximity.

The photos certainly fit in well with the Urban Portrait project and Hybrid.9 are pleased with the results:

The band arrived one light-fading evening at a location suggested by Simon & Tina to give a fantastic local backdrop to the band photos. Working inside & out the pair worked with us to achieve some great band shots which are really happy with. It was our first photo shoot so not entirely sure how it was going to go, but we were in good hands. The pair had ideas which fitted well with our expectations and produced some strong imposing shots, even though most of the time we were having a laugh. Really pleased with the photos, and had some very positive comments about them.
Thanks to Simon J Newbury Photography.
