Dave Hodgkinson Music Photography

After a burst of enthusiasm when I got back to Camden from Amsterdam, I’d been finding recently my enthusiam for the glamour of music photography was on the wane. I’m afraid the champagne lifestyle and the groupies just wasn’t doing it for my any more and if I saw the inside of one more plush, red-velvet VIP area ever again, I’d scream. Also, the brilliantly lit stages were like an LSD trip in their creativity.

Sadly, all of the above is a lie.

Despite my rule of only shooting musicians I like, and assembling a wonderful collective of like-minded snappers I realised recently that I really couldn’t care any more. Watching Simon work far harder than I have and still not get anywhere and especially his lament about not getting paid just added to the ennui.

So, I’ll shoot a few more gigs in October, tour manage the Chthonic UK tour in the first week of November then focus on my fine art work.

So with that in mind, I’ve put up ALL the 1* or better photos from this year in high-resolution (good enough for a 6×4 at least). The following sets out the terms:

The following sets are all high-resolution 1600-1200 images free for personal use. Bands are free to use them on the web with credit. Commercial use is subject to negotiation, but really, I don’t bite. I retain copyright on all images so don’t be naughty.

So there you go. Round about 750 images from 40-mumble performances for your viewing pleasure. There are some good ones in there too. 2008 to follow.
