My Exhibition

Picture This : An Exhibition of Music Photography by Carrie Davenport

Opening Night: April 19 from 7pm-9pm at Alternative Ink, Holywood.

All are welcome and admission is free.

Eschewing the more tried and tested paths for exhibitions, Picture This showcases recent music photography by Belfast-based snapper Carrie Davenport in the unique setting of the Alternative Ink tattoo studio in Holywood. Opening on April 19th, the show will run until May 22nd and features a selection of images of local and international artists from various genres of music.

Over the last few years Carrie Davenport has photographed everyone from AC/DC (which Hot Press magazine included in their ‘Photos of the Decade’ feature) to a then fresh-faced Lady GaGa and her bold and imaginative images have previously been exhibited at Dublin’s Hard Working Class Heroes festival and the Oh Yeah Centre’s 20:20 show in Belfast. Carrie’s work is widely used in the press, with regular commissions from magazines including Kerrang!, Hot Press and AU and she also works directly with bands, record labels and pr agencies. Picture This offers an opportunity to see some of her photos in a gallery setting for the first time.

Picture This Opening Night: Monday April 19th 7-9pm. All are welcome, refreshments will be provided and admission is free.
Address: Alternative Ink Studio, 62 High Street, Holywood, Northern Ireland

Extras needed for major photoshoot!

December 15, 2009 · 4 Comments

Hey Everyone

We need your help!! Male and female extras aged 16-30 required for photoshoot in Belfast on Dec 22nd – exact times and locations to be confirmed in advance of the shoot.

We will need you to be available for the afternoon of the 22nd and the shoot will probably take around 2 hours. Those chosen will be notified by email as soon as we have made the final selection.

Please note this is not paid work so we’re asking you to be legends and help us out. We can’t cover expenses either I’m afraid but it will give you the chance to take part in a photoshoot for a major local band that will be used for international promotion of their new album! All extras will need to sign a model release to take part so nobody under 16 I’m afraid. Don’t be shy we need a good few folk so the more the merrier – spread the word if you can!

So if you’re up for it and can spare a couple of hours that day please email photos@carriedavenport.com with your name, age, clothes size (not being nosey but we may need you to wear certain tshirts which will be provided so we need sizes and then hopefully you get to keep the tshirt as a wee souvenir) and a recent photograph of yourself (full or three quarter length preferably).

and to put you all out of suspense its for ASIWYFA!! I picked the location today so just waiting on final confirmation but its near the city centre probable call time 11am!

IMPORTANT NOTE: I need everyone to let me know if they plan on coming and not just turn up as we only have a certain amount of places/tshirts so email me

thanks loads

Carrie

The guys are great – their stuff is really worth a listen and you can find it online at http://www.myspace.com/theblackbearsaloon – can’t wait to see the finished video!!
