MEI LEWIS PHOTOGRAPHY
LATEST_
 



Hello
, my name's Mei Lewis. I'm a freelance photographer based in South Wales. There are samples of my photos in the gallery.

Most of my work is for the music industry in one form or another, but I can be hired to take pictures of literally anything. See the services section of this site for details.

If you've got any questions about me or my work feel free to contact me.

I've taken photographs for organisations including ASCAP, BPI, Welsh Music Awards, Hard Rock Cafe and numerous magazines and newspapers including Sound Nation, Buzz, Big Issue Cymru, Audience Magazine and Plan B. I also work directly with bands and labels . Some of these are in the links section of this site, along with other sites I find useful or just interesting.

I believe that sharing knowledge benefits everyone, if you're interested in how I took any of the photos on this site or want help with any aspect of photography or digital imaging then just ask! If I can help I will.

(All images on this site are ©Mei Lewis).

SCOUT NIBLETT - Cardiff Clwb Ifor Bach 28th October

Scout Niblett (with Todd Trainer) on the ground floor of Clwb Ifor Bach, Cardiff. The interplay between the two was extraordinary, you can see that they're facing towards each other and sideways on to most of the audience, so they can communicate easily. Todd brought his drumsticks in small coffin, lined with red satin, and he dressed like an undertaker.

Lesson No.1 at Buffalo Bar, Cardiff
A man witha beard, a man without a beard and a man who used to have a beard put on two bands, neither of which have a bearded member. Okay, the drummer of one of them does have a beard, but he'll probably shave it off soon.

Adequate 7 photo in Western Mail

Western Mail used one of my photos in last Saturday's edition, accompanying a piece about the band and others attending the In The City event in Manchester. The text of the piece is available on the web here, and you can see the original photo and others from the shoot here.

Clutch at the Barfly
Neil Fallon sings like a man possessed.

Newest Industry all-dayer

Monk Dave of Newest Industry Records asked me to document the all dayer they put on at Cardiff's Clwb Ifor Bach.

Fag Club #1

The first of what will hopefully be a series of 'nights' put on by friends of mine in Cardiff, with a queer theme.
