Cheek to Cheek Tour - Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga @ Royal Albert Hall 09/06/15

I was really looking forward to seeing the controversial pair, Lady Gaga and Tony Bennett in concert in London! But unfortunately it was cancelled very very last minute. :(
Despite this, I had a very fun four days in London chasing the Lady herself around her hotel - The Langham with lots of friends, new and old. And to be fair, we were so so close. Close enough for a selfie! (lol)

I did however get some pictures, but they're only pap pics from my phone of Gaga outside her hotel...not exactly the HQ I wanted, but still it's something. :)

On the day of the second date show in London, we got to Knightsbridge and went to the Royal Albert Hall..had dinner inside the venue, a drink or two. When it came to queuing up to go inside, and it was just after "doors opening" time when I had a gut feeling that something was going to go wrong or happen...and a few minutes after this, the guy on the speaker announced that the show that night would no longer take place due to illness. Now I have never seen so many people cry in one place at any one time! It was safe to say that it was gutting, old ladies and young girls distraught, it did pull my heartstrings but I stayed in a stable state of mind, because yano....someone has to! Me and my friend were absolutely gutted though because we were excited to see the once-in-a-lifetime event. Of course Tony is in his late 80's now, it's usually not likely someone of this guys age to still be performing. But he's well and kicking! Great guy though, adorable!

Shame about the show, but had a fantastic few days and still thoroughly enjoyed myself...

You can find my pap-pics here @ www.facebook.com/SamanthaFinnPhotography along with many other Lady Gaga photos from artRAVE Manchester and artRAVE Sheffield in 2014.

Well christ it's been one heck of year!

I haven't posted for 8 months! That's crazy. But so much stuff has happened in that time.

I've been to a fair few places and photographed a variety of things. This year for me, it's been mostly about not so much photographing people. But more landscapes and street scenes.

The next few posts will be about the different places I've been and the things I've produced in this time.

Pretty Excited for the near future. :)

On Wednesday I've got a photoshoot of a band involving one of my good pals, Dean Garrod who recently sang solo at Grimsby Pride 2013 (You were amazing by the way)! Which is set up from as part of a Music course at a local college located not that far from me. :)

Happy birthday to Dean today as well, hope you had an amazing day mate! :)


I'm certainly hoping that we'll get some great shots from Wednesday, I'm feeling pretty positive so definitely looking forward to seeing the outcome images! :) Will definitely be finding time to put some up on here. There's so much to write about and show you, I'll still be adding photos from a year back on here in close weeks to come. I really wish I started this blog sooner, I love writing and ranting about things way too much for my own good!

Also, I'm getting quite a few shoots booked in for end of this month and currently got 3 to sort out for the end of November! Two of which are going to be Christmas photoshoots with little kiddies! So should be adorable! ;D


Exciiiiited much! :D

Updates soooon! Still haven't got my new camera yet, so review is on the waiting list! No worries. :)

Chat soon. Sam
