Tony Wooliscroft - Music Photographer.

TONY WOOLISCROFT

Tony Wooliscroft is a music photographer,  it was held in burslem in stoke-on-trent, where i got to see a selection of his work that he had produced over the last twenty years.Where he showed that he got to work behind the scenes with the Foo fighters and Red hot chilli peppers documenting the on goings of what happens on and off stage.He had worked for kerrang magazine and he left that in 2005. The way that he had shown his work, he just had them in simple black wooden frames on a white background.The size of the images varied and he was selling a3 for £100,a2 for £150 and a1 for £220.When he said that he learnt to blend into the background of situation and how when he was working instead of enjoying the gig that he was photographing he would rather just go into work mode and get the shots he wanted. Also made a good point that your not there to hang with the band, your there to do the job and just to document the band.
