Say hello to @CreateWithBrendan It’s about time I changed the name of my portrait account (Formerly ShootWithBrendan) to reflect more of the variety of creative things I get up to these days! 📸🎥

I will hopefully be sharing more of the outdoor and event photography stuff that I do here too as well as continuing to share my portrait work.

I have so much to share so stick around if you want to see more of what I’ve been up to and what projects are in my future.

And finally to my fellow creatives if you want to create together get in touch and let’s create together! 👋

Also this is not AI even if @instagram tags it as so, I am real and these are real photos, it’s just that I used @canva_uk for the text. 😅☠️

We’re really proud to say that we were the winner of the award for Outstanding Contribution to Engagement through Music in the UK Music MAP Awards, held at @mattandphreds in Manchester last week.

These annual awards through @_ukmusic shine a light on individuals and organisations making a positive, inclusive impact on people or communities through music.

This award is therefore really special for us...

Receiving awards is always good, and we’ve won quite a few that we've been very proud of.

Receiving awards from an organisation such as UK Music, the lead voice of our industry is even better.

However, what's EVEN better, is receiving an award from UK Music for something that is literally our core mission… engaging people through music is one of the main reasons that we exist; it's even written into our company objects.

Our team are immensely grateful to UK Music for recognising and valuing what they do 🙏❤️

I recently sat down for an interview with @artisticechoes, sharing my thoughts on the new album. Here's a photo from said interview...

But seriously 😂 It was a pleasure to chat with Michael from @artisticechoes. Talking about everything from: 'Music Is a Serious Business', touring highlights, writing songs, gigs in weird places and singing Tenacious D songs on a bus

Final images from my prosthetics assessment ✨️

For this piece, I drew inspiration from the desert horned viper and Medusa, merging reptilian textures with mythological elements 🐍

Future Nostalgia- Alien Scifi assessment. by @createwithbrendan

Just a couple of Ghouls atop a misty Grin Low in Buxton. 👻

I’ve always thought Solomon’s Temple would make for a great shoot location for some Halloween content so I headed up there on a very moody evening with some pals to bag the Ethel and create some fun spooky content. Hope you all have a very Happy Halloween! 💀
