Local music photographer shares experiences with NULC students


Tony Woolliscroft, photographer to music stars including The 1975, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Foo Fighters and Robbie Williams, returned to NULC to inspire the new students on the Extended Diploma Photography & Digital Imaging course.
 
Alex Williams, Curriculum Leader for the course, said: “It is fantastic to have links to such a prolific photographer, especially for those learners who may be specifically interested in music, sports and portrait work.  With a portfolio including not just famous bands, but portraits for football stars such as Kenny Dalglish, Keith Gillespie and Steven Gerrard, Tony can inspire lots of different students.  His links and experience in the industry are immeasurable, highlighted by his talk to the students about his use of the new Fuji X-T1 mirrorless digital cameras.”
 
Alex added: “I am currently talking to Tony about the possibility of mentoring some of our photography students on a one to one basis at live events.  This would be a “money can’t buy” opportunity for students, giving them fantastic access and instant feedback by an experienced photographer.  Watch this space!”
