Gavin Higgins

I recently ventured down to London for a few days to see the ol’ smoke and whilst there did some publicity shots for Gavin Higgins. Gavin is a musical wonderman whose talents include horn playing and most impressively writing brilliant music. He has had his music performed by numerous ensembles and soloists across the UK in venues including the Wigmore Hall, Regent Hall, the Royal Festival Hall and the Royal Albert Hall. His work has been very popular with BBC young Musician finalists and in March 2010 the BBC Symphony Orchestra will premiere his new work, Dancing at the Edge of hell.
Gavin wanted some fairly simple publicity shots but wanted to steer clear of the typical (cheesy) photography that so many classical musicians seem to have. So for this we got ourselves a day pass for the tube and shot round to different parts of London doing photos in a number of Locations including the underground, Primrose Hill which overlooks the city and down in the bright lights of Piccadilly Circus.
We wanted to wait until it went dark for some particular shots so we walked to the top of Primrose Park and sat and waited for the sun to go down.. and we waited.. and waited.. for quite some time. The day before we were sure the sun went down about 2 hours earlier. Anyway, we shared some beer and snacks and watched people doing some kind of fitness training and then we felt bad as all we were doing was eating.

Anyway.. eventually the sun went down and the street lights came on so we got to work taking more pictures.
