Simon K. Allen

I trained in the camera departments of film production companies working on feature films, commercials, TV drama, documentaries and light entertainment programmes. During this time I developed a cinematic approach to still photography. As a photographer I have shot actors' portraits, theatre production stills, behind-the-scenes reportage, music performance and arts event photography. I am also the drummer for internationally celebrated yet relatively obscure UK retro-funk band The New Mastersounds.
