I have shot many bands and musicians across the world over the years. In bars, venues, places that should come with a health warning and even Download Festival UK. However, nothing beats photographing musicians in the middle of a Caribbean Island.
I met the guys from Pagrazz when I was living on a remote Island, I won't name to help preserve its natural beauty. The band were to be the islands entertainment for the weekend. Playing in one bar on the Friday, another on the Saturday and heading a jam session on the Sunday. It was after their Friday gig they approached me, having seen some images I had taken and wanted to shoot some stuff around the beautiful Island.

I took them to both ends of the islands. We hired a golf cart and went on our adventure. The first area I chose was fairly secluded with stunning views. The later area was sand and water as long as the horizon. I choose this place because of the sand dunes which sit out to sea. As you start off at the beach, the water is by your ankles. Obviously the more you walk out the deeper it gets, at some point the level starts to lower again. Before you know it you're standing on a mound of sand surrounded by water in every direction.
I don't think they expected to be walking out into the ocean, holding the instruments above their heads. It was one of the best things I've ever done in photography. As they played I shot and it was my own personal private show.
