Adrian Cowin

My name is Adrian Cowin, as you might have guessed from the name of this site!

I live in the Isle of Man, where there is a vibrant live music scene. I have enjoyed watching the local bands for some years now, and have recently started taking along my camera and thus combining two of my
interests.

The many excellent bands on the island have given me lots of enjoyment, and I hope that my site will allow me to return the favour by providing a place where bands and fans can see the pictures I have taken of them.

I prefer to utilise the available light, so as to capture the same atmosphere the crowd watching the band experiences. This usually means that the conditions are less than ideal for photography due to
the low light levels, but I try not to use a flash, as this can be distracting for the bands and annoying for the people watching them. However, I do sometimes use flash if it is just too dark, or if I am using it for
special effect with movement and frozen action in the same picture.

If you are in a band would like me to come to your gig and take some pictures, please contact me and I’ll see what I can do.
