Meet Laurence Davis: part time bar-tender, public transport advocate, and great photographer/designer. The self-taught photographer mainly does live and promo photography, but also web designs from myspace layouts to full web sites, and graphic design like posters and flyers. He’s a busy guy!
He spends a lot of time doing his own photography and since working for the Bakery he has photographed so many local bands it’s not funny! These include Break Even, Carpathian, Anime Fire, Parkway Drive, Suicide Silence, The Devil Wears Prada and Bring me the Horizon. He also has a nice portfolio of indie acts such as CocoRosie, Pikelet and Death Cab for Cutie.
After his first set for Taking Back Sunday in 2006, he is now working on secret design projects for a couple of local bands, as well as the upcoming 7Sounds festival. He’s shooting loads of gigs for fasterlouder, as well as contracting out to bands to shoot live sets and promotional stuff. The gig he’s looking forward to the most is Bring Me the Horizon in May.
Laurence has been working on his website too, which shows his portfolio and blog, with loads of photography stuff and heaps more.
If you look you’ll probably see him around at gigs, festivals, galleries, exhibitions, behind a bar, in a drive-through, at hungry spot, on a train or a bus. He’s the guy with a whole bunch of cameras… Or, if you want to get personal, you can also find him by doing the following: e-mailing laurencejdavis@gmail.com, or visiting www.shapeshiftcreative.com.
