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

Published Work

(David Wala) — Fri, 07 Nov 2014 03:30:36 GMT

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 .
