Loved working with on a few live videos over in Ashburton in a quaint little barn 💛 here are some of the shots I took afterwards, love how they turned out seeing as we only really spent half hour taking photos, but such a lush location for folky photos 🙌

They are both playing in Bristol on the 5th of May if you are in that neck of the woods!

Loved shooting these images for Jonah Hitchens upcoming new record ☺️

We struggled so much to get a perfect evening for this shoot! Took us nearly a month of arranging to get this finally right! So glad we waited though as the pictures look amazing at golden hour, Jonah wanted a 60s/70s vibe to the images, so I edited these as filmy as I could.

The most exciting thing abou this shoot was that I also got to shoot a roll of film along with it! Which I will release very soon!

If anyone is interested in getting a new set of promo shot for any new releases or to freshen up your feed then don't hesitate to give me a message and we will discuss what images will suit your sound!

Two edits from my recent shoot with Ollie Stephens ✨

I shot these after a live session we filmed with ollie in mid march at the art studio we filmed his session in! Recently, if I am torn between two edit then I will give the client both and let them decide on which they like the best. Ollie chose the second image out of the two! But I am still torn as love the film look too!

This shows that as a photographer - its good to keep in mind what the client wants what I like isn't necessarily what the client wants.

In my main photoshoots I will always ask you what sort of images you want, I will get you to create a mood board of lots of different images form your favourite bands or things you have seen from other shoots that you like. This helps us as photographs know exalt what you want from your images 😊

If you would like to book a shoot with me I am taking bookings for April & May for Photoshoots. Such a goof time to get new photographs done for your music pre summer season!

Loved filming this live session for Ollie Dixon 🙌

This is the acoustic version of his brand new single 'Islands' which has been featured on both Alexrainbird and Indie Folk Central ✨

Ollie asked me to film this session for him so he had acoustic music filmed and recorded to send to festivals and promoters. Its so important to have good live versions of your music on your bands Youtube Account for this very reason. If you are in need of any live sessions filmed then please get in touch😊

Loved this photoshoot with Josh DC & The Anti-Heroes in Exeter 🙌

Josh sent me a few pictures prior to shooting these portraits and they were very 90s grunge themed. Therefore going for that dark film look in the city I felt was the right direction to go in!

All bus stops apart from the orange one 🙌

There is a little behind the scenes on my instagram: https://www.instagram.com/abbie_barton_/

Im still taking bookings for music promo - photoshoots, live sessions and music videos for the next few months. I have special winter prices for the less desirable months if you want to bag yourself a little bit of a deal ahead of festival season! Message me for more info 🎊

2022 👋🏻

2021 was full of ups and downs, for me I found it harder to navigate than 2020. But I am so grateful for all the opportunity’s I have been given, Thank you to all the artists who put there trust in me to create there branding, I love all your music and I’m so happy to be apart of getting it heard ✨

Thank you to all the couples that have wanted me as there wedding photographer and too shoot your engagement photographs I love wedding photography and want to do so much more in the new year ✨

Despite so many set backs with we managed to film are first backstage festival and work with 3 more artists on their short films! (So much more to come in the new year!).

Most importantly i took a step back from always needing to be productive. I’m learning about myself, how my mind works best and beginning to see a happier side of myself come out more ✨ Meditation is so huge for me to keep my mind steady and I hope to grow on that through 2022🌙

I have so many projects in January and February coming out which is so exciting!

Let’s hope this years better than the last 🌙 wishing everyone a wonderful 2022 🌿

Enjoy ‘Coventry Carol’ 🌙

I wanted to make these films look more haunting + mysterious than the last time we filmed together in October, so turned all the lights off in the church bar a few lanterns, two video lights and single string of fairy lights ✨🌙 genuinely feels like your being thrown back in time with this Christmas carol 🎄

Go and show some love over on harbottle & Jonas YouTube channel they do weekly uploads of beautiful originals and covers so definitely worth a subscribe 🌞 the link is in my bio 🌙

The photos to go alongside the live sessions from Ollie Dixon which are going to be released in January 2022 🎼

We spent so much time thinking about what Ollie wanted for this session - but a cosy warm vibe was what we ended up with. It was also incredible to set this all up in an old school house in the small village of Hatherleigh, Devon.

practising for new band 🎶 their creating a real vibe with these new songs even I’m excited for everyone to hear them

capturing documentary style music shots is definitely my favourite form of music photography ✨ I’m creating something special for new music which is exciting but that’s all I can say until the new music is released 🤫 it’s so nice to start capturing music again

Thanks too all the practise I have had with I’m now offering my video services, so any musicians after live sessions / small documentary or footage for social media then get in touch ✨
