VV Brown's Visuals

I've spent the past couple of nights photographing the Turning Point Festival taking place at the Roundhouse. Several hot artists of the moment were involved, including Tinchy Stryde, currently at number one in the UK singles chart and The Noisettes, who are hard to escape whenever you turn the radio on.
The main act last night was VV Brown, pop's latest style queen. Now, her back drop for the most part featured her name in bright colours, like this:

That looked pretty good.
However, her visuals also featured some video footage and bizarrely that footage happened to include my good self photographing her as she performed. Those that know me will recognise me below in action behind VV as the Roundhouse audience look on.

Istanbul

Here are a few pictures I took with a compact camera during a visit to Istanbul in January. The city was fascinating, not least from a photography point of view with a coming together of eastern and western cultures and stunning architecture which made for great skylines.
Of all the places I've visited I'd say it's up there with Cuba and Morocco for great locations to take photos. I intend to return armed with my professional camera and dedicate some time at sunrise and sunset, when the light is perfect, to capturing some more the city and its people.













We were lucky enough to be get to enjoy a stay in the Istanbul Swissotel and its amazing views overlooking the Bosphorus river, which separates Europe from Asia.
