I thought it would never happen but after seeing them play a secret gig in January 2004 at Bulletproof club night at the University of Northumbria, they returned tonight ( 3rd August 2017). Viva The Libertines !

Last Record Store Day I shot Superfood ( who have since released their debut album ” Don’t Say That”) at  Sound It Out Records in Stockton. One of the pictures from then has been published in the super impressive Rock Atlas book.
This year I am hoping to get The Replacements – Alex Chilton vinyl

Happy New Year !
I am raising  some money for the People’s Kitchen by donating all the profits from my E-Book Instamatic For The People to them for all sales until the end of January 2015.. The book is only £3.00 and £2.00 will be donated to the charity. They do an essential  job supplying hot meals to the homeless.  More information about the book and to buy and download  it please visit http://store.blurb.co.uk/ebooks/96607-instamatic-for-the-people .
Happy Holidays from me to you. x
Merry Christmas from David Wala
Two posts in quick succession – I am attempting to keep this updated more frequently
So far this month I have had work published in Classic Rock Prog, NME, and Music Week.
I went up to Edinburgh to do a shoot with North Atlantic Oscillation, which was so much fun. I am so proud that the images are featured on a full page.
A portrait of the Voyeurs is in the current issue of the NME – they are a great band and supported my A A D project – I am thrilled that it accompanies such a positive review of their new album Rhubarb Rhubarb.
I am a lucky omen or just fortunate enough to work with super talented bands as my picture accompanies another super positive review of the new Gandalf’s Fist album A Forest Of Fey.
There also some shots of Anathema from their gig in Glasgow. Also some images of music industry figures in last week,s Music Week
I am so grateful of these opportunities and I am always keeping on keeping on

We recently filmed a performance video for the song Different Circles by Warning. They are a really exciting live band, and I hope the video captures some of their energy. I am really proud of it .
