Rachael
Magowan specialises in the areas of reportage-style event photography,
live music, festivals, film and television set work, parties,
album art, promotional photography, informal portraiture, and
fine art prints.
In addition
to studying photography at university, she has over 25 years
shooting experience, and has worked with a wide variety of
clients, including most recently: Chorlton Arts Radio (official
studio photographer), Didsbury Arts Network, Manchester University
(Research to Enterprise Conference), The National Harmonica
League ('Harmonica Day' at Band on the Wall), and Zombie Aid
(official photographer).
She is
regularly engaged to shoot at well-known music venues, to
cover both special events and regular nights.
Two exhibitions of her music photography have been staged
in 2010, and a third is planned for the end of the summer.
She also spent most of 2009 as the resident on-set photographer
for an independent film company, documenting several location-based
film productions.
Her more unusual event photographer commissions have included
a Pagan hand-fasting ceremony, and an invasion of Manchester
Arndale by 'zombies!'
A keen
supporter of chartiable causes, Rachael also covers a substantial
number of benefit events, and is happy to occasionally charge
for these at a reduced special rate at her discretion. However,
PLEASE NOTE: she is unable to offer her services free of charge.Her
most recent work in this area includes documenting the high-profile
'Save Chorlton Meadows' media campaign, 'The Charity Guitar
Trail' in Didsbury, and a benefit for St. Anne's Hospice.
A number of her photographs have been published in the press,
and have also been used by local polititians, including South
Manchester MP John Leech.

Rachael's
approach is primarily candid and spontaneous, focusing on
capturing natural moments, and attaining unposed shots in
which her subjects are relaxed and happy to just be themselves.
To
achieve this, her shooting style is entirely informal, and
she strives to maintain a secondary and unobtrusive presence
at all her professional engagements.
She works
primarily in the Greater Manchester, Cheshire, Lancashire
and Derbyshire areas, but is willing to travel further afield
if required.
Prices for all commissions are available upon request.
