Marianne Leigh is about to release her fantastic debut album on Bandcamp and you can even pre-order the CD! Love a bit of old school tangibility.

Love this girl she is such a young star and inspirational in not only her music but young confidence. Don't ever change Marianne - wishing you so much success.

Good time to get my money’s worth of this post I think! Had the pleasure of photographing Ian Broudie a few years back. What a legend!
Have to say I think these pics capture him well after watching the original video this morning on you tube.
Football - it’s coming home - we hope!

Amazing day today photographing two amazing women - over fences, on beaches and with kittens! Now that's what I call a happy days work. Can't wait to see some of these go on billboards - these girls are going places x

Hello old friends - how are you doing? I've so enjoyed dusting my camera off lately to capture some amazing new bands coming through for our Live Out East Programme of emerging talent at UXBRIDGE.

The Rvmes who release their 'lifetime' album today and Marianne Leigh, the most lovely and talented young songstress. The Rvmes play The Pumphouse tonight and Marianne will be at Earth Beat festival this weekend - what a way to round of the summer. So luck to be Live. The live Out East programme kicks of on 16 April at UXBRIDGE. The Rvmes on April 16 and Marianne Leigh June with lots more to come!

Hitting up my google drive and it's forced me to look back fondly on a little selection of images. Definitely feeling the urge to get a little creative over the festive season. Possibly trying something a little fresh for portraiture. Love all these faces! Hope you are all doing well despite such a weird year. If you fancy being a NZ subject for something fresh - possibly a little rusty - let me know!

So today marked the start of a new Phase of Mad Panda Photography. As we launch into Springtime sessions in Auckland and New Zealand.
Today's beach shoot brought together to amazing ladies with a partly shared story - the session to mark their personal transformations having lost 100kgs between them! Health is totally wealth.
Amazing makeup from Carman Hansen in the fur hood thankyou!! x

Had a bit of a pro-photo break since getting here in terms of sessions and weddings - you might have noticed! After taking my big camera on first trip to the beach Sunday (iPhones too handy!) and with little Mac in action I’m kind of itching to return to family sessions - in danger of taking pictures of happy strangers otherwise and that’s probably a bit dodgy!

This has been the closest we’ve got to wedding talk today in our morning work out - mention the wedding and wear the veil!! Of course wedding fever is here to but I’m sure you are all absolutely buzzing in the Uk! Bit sorry Megan’s mums not walking her down the aisle but too excited to see all the trimmings! I’m hearing it’s a lemon drizzle .cakes_ is that right? And is that you Christine Connoly? ###
