A FLASHLESS WORLD

By Allen Pyrah

Allen and his Canon cameras are regular sights at Perth Blues Club where he has been the photographer for just over 11 years. He also covers other music venues around Perth as well as the Blues at Bridgetown festival. His aim is to capture the shots that reflect how the artists perceive themselves, whilst using stage lighting to advantage, and to document performances.

Allen has been associated with bands for almost 50 years.  As a young man he formed a band and toured Europe for seven years before returning to his job at a local printing firm in West Yorkshire and taking up photography with his trusty Zenith SLR.

“So I suppose it was inevitable that I would spend most of my time doing concert photography”
