Hello Ladies and Gents, seeing as a lot of people are doing this, here goes! I like long walks on the beach, cuddling at the movies and hardcore German domination porn...(wait this is Tinder, right...?)

My name is Colm, I'm 35 and from Berkshire in the UK. By day I work for the government but by night (or weekend, or some Fridays, you get the idea...) I am a photographer. Photography is one of my passions and so is music, so I feel lucky that I get to combine the two and shoot concerts. It's tough sometimes and you are your own worst critic, but I love it.

I try and shoot other genres too; I've done a little bit of street photography. Along with some action, portraiture and a couple of new-born/family shoots too. Every genre poses very different issues but the more you diversify, the more you learn.

My other hobby is gaming, I'm a pretty big console gamer. On the Xbox side of things, sorry Playstationers haha, but I've actually owned most consoles, so not a fanboy. I just prefer the controller and Xbox Live.

As i said, music is a major part of my life. Mostly rock and metal but I like the odd track from other genres now and then. I've been to about 100+ concerts and festivals, met quite a few people from bands, worked festivals, had some of my photos published and just generally had a great time! I'm always trying to promote my photography, I have a Facebook page already (https://www.facebook.com/CriticalMassPhotography/) and am currently working on a website. One day I'd love to do it for a living but for now I have to do the 9-5 thing, keeping the country safe haha.

So yeah, that's all I can think of to write without this becoming an autobiography and being really boring!

I look forward to participating in this exciting new medium, check out my forthcoming photography blogs by following if you'd like to and feel free to ask me any questions if you have any.

I will see you guys around...Byeee!
