<\/div>

Hello there James! How the devil are thee?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Great thanks! Just got back from a weekend photographing a festival in Cheshire, so I\u2019m a combination of exhausted and exhilarated!<\/p>\n

Splendid. Now, tell us about your role at Loopfest?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

I\u2019m one of the festivals\u2019 photographers, our job is to capture all the fun, excitement and atmosphere of the festival through our images. That includes what\u2019s happening on stage, in the audience, and across the town. Our images help to spread the word about what an amazing festival this is, how it benefits the town, and helps promote Loopfest going forward.<\/p>\n

Sounds interesting…how did you get involved with the festival?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Photography and music have been hugely influential in my life so as a freelance photographer to be able to combine these two passions of mine by photographing concerts is a dream come true. And it was as a freelancer that I did some work for Jamie (Smith) at Albert\u2019s Shed in Shrewsbury. So being involved in Loopfest just kind of followed on from that.<\/p>\n

You’ve taken many a photo, at many a Loopfest gig. What was your favourite band or artist you’ve seen?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

I\u2019m into guitar-based bands so it\u2019s tough to pick just one! The great thing about this festival is you get to see so many bands and you always come away with a little a cache of personal new discoveries! But for me, because of my love of Ska, reggae, and post-punk music bands like \u2018Zen Baseballbat\u2019 and \u2018Smoke Like a Fish\u2019, stood out for me. Great to listen to, they really put on a show so fantastic to shoot, and the crowd loved them!<\/p>\n

What would you say to those people who are umming and ahhing about becoming a volunteer?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

What are you waiting for?! This is an opportunity to get free access to a great festival, see some incredible acts, and work alongside some lovely people. It doesn\u2019t matter if you haven\u2019t got a particular skill, there\u2019s all sorts of roles available, and who knows, you may even learn a new skill as a result! It\u2019s going to look great on your CV, you\u2019ll have fun, and let\u2019s be honest, Loopfest isn\u2019t going away and will just grow year-on-year, so wouldn\u2019t it be good to say \u2018I was there in the early days.\u2019<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
