Bands & Musicians : Multimedia Press Packs



We've just completed a multimedia press pack for Lost in Audio - all photography, layout, motion graphics and design done in-house by 80eight Photography & Design. We think this is the perfect way of showcasing a band or musicians talent. Not only can the press pack be hosted on YouTube but it can be made available for mobile devices, burnt to DVD or even projected on to a huge screen.

So, if you're in a band and want to make the biggest impact you can with A&R guys, promoters or fans - contact us and we'd be happy to sit down with you and understand your requirements.

Band Photography : New MySpace Page for Lost in Audio



The new MySpace page for Lost in Audio, featuring photography from 80eight Photography & Design is now live and it looks and sounds just fabulous. Check it out here ::


The band have put up three of their latest tracks and are asking people to decide which is the best one. All three tracks are great, but my favourite is 'Be that Someone', although 'Move on Me' runs it very close. So take a listen and vote! They've got quite a few gigs coming up soon so check them out whenever you can - live they are simply fantastic.

The band are ::

Joe : Guitars / Lead Vocals / Songwriter
Murray : Bass / Backing Vocals
Ewan : Drums / Backing Vocals

They're a good bunch and they deserve to do well which I'm sure they will.

More Band Photography :: Idiotcut // CD Shoot




Idiotcut are a great unsigned band from Falkirk and yesterday we had a fabulous location shoot with them. The objective here was to get images for their forthcoming CD release and also to get material together for their press pack.

Ross, Ross and Stephen were very patient and put up with the cold weather and slightly less than salubrious surroundings of an abandoned cement works very well. And we got some great photographs. 

Bands, musicians, artists of any kind - If you need high quality, promotional material, please contact us.

Not everything has to be pin sharp

Shallow depth of field can be very effective in the right situation

Border Brides ::From the Outside



We completed our shoot with Border Brides yesterday with some exterior shots of the fabulous building where Lynne has her shop. It was freezing cold in Hawick but dry and the sky was a lovely colour. The shots came out just great and here's a taste of them.

Images like these can really help to promote your business on the web or in print. Please call 80eight Photography & Design for more details on what we can do for your business.

Flatpack Cyberman


We took delivery of a Cyberman today. Although he doesn't appear to be Swedish he arrived as a flat-pack. He's one of our many props for use in photo-shoots and yeah....I like Dr Who so I didn't need too much justification! You'll probably see him in and around Berwickshire lurking in tree's or hedgerows so please don't be alarmed. He'll be going to the beach also once the weather gets better.

If you've always wanted a portrait with a difference - Give 80eight Photography & Design a call!
