Earlier this year Facing the Gallows and I jumped onto a train from JHB to Worcester for Ramfest 2010 to take a ridiculous amount of stop motion photos, something like 8000. Eventually I put as many of them as possible into a promo video which is now finished
and on youtube. So check it out. link below

Ambushed

Back in September I did a short mock shoot for Sabc 1's Ambushed. I didn't expect to be on camera, so if you saw it I hope you didn't laugh too hard. I haven't seen it myself, and im probably gonna keep it that way.
So this is a shot of one of the contestants at Urban Brew Studios.

Coffee table plant therapy.

copyright mikebellphotography 2010

lately i have been working on a series of shots for a farmhouse restaurant, it's taken up more of my time than breathing. flower setups and fending off wild farm animals really gets to you.
since my time has been occupied by plants over the past few weeks i thought i'd actually do some stuff that i'd like to see on the blog, so here it is.

worse things happen at sea.

I promised myself I wouldn't put anymore band stuff up on this blog, I guess it's just another promise im going to break. Tonight I did a few promo shots for their upcoming Aus tour, this was one of my favourites. The Dead Will Tell have had a few lineup changes over the years, Lloyd and Spence being the only original members left in the band. Richard joined early on adding another guitar to the once fourpiece and Zoran replaced the original vocalist Benji. Benjamin (not the same one) filled the spot when Mike left and Jeremy the newest member replaced Zoran who recently decided his time was up in the band. Seeing the new lineup for the first time was amazing. Super rad bunch of dudes and I wish them well for their tour, I hope Aus is ready for them.

An old One

I was cleaning out my computer today making space for new stuff and came across this one. Thought I should save it somewhere before it's gone forever. I shot it for a project of Bryans one afternoon while I was still studying. I don't know if he passed the project or even remember the pretty girls name.

Sexy Crooked Teeth

One I snapped on the road out of Oppi this morning. A little tribute to the amazing festival and the hours of traffic trying to get out the gate. I didn't take many photos, but that was because my mind was too busy being blown. Till next year.

Hate City and Durban collide.

Everytime I'm in Durban I end up having more fun than I thought possible. This tour was no exception. I joined Compass and Conqueror for a weekend of pure hardcore with Go Go Bronco and the many friendly Durban faces. It was Crossingpoints last show and Compasses last for a while since Rich is off to Hong Kong soon. The show was mad and the party was madness. Thanks to all.

Late Night Doll House

The Doll House is probably one of my favourite late night food destinations, we stopped there after the long drive home from the show at bells sundowner on saturday. This place is dope and romantic as shit.
