Why SarahPhotogirl Rocks...

SarahPhotogirl

ll the rock bands she works with say the same thing. She’s a control freak, over- demanding, a bit of a bully and a serious

dictator. But they still love her anyway.

SarahPhotogirl (all one word) is a stunning, buzzing, red- haired, thirty three year old from Scarborough, north Yorkshire, who includes such rock luminaries as Jarvis Cocker, the Kaiser Chiefs, The Charlatans and The Feeling as hermates onMySpace – and doesn’t think twice about pestering bands forever - until they agree to let her loose with a camera.

She smiles: “Early in my career I constantly harassed the Blur fan club and then wrote to Damon Albarn himself to fix a shoot. Of course I won in the end.”

She adds: “OK I admit it. I do order bands around. If you don’t you’ll never get anywhere in this business. You’ll never get the pictures you need.

Once during a Kaiser Chiefs group portrait shoot out in a city street, I couldn’t locate the fifth band member. The rest of the boys were concerned that people might think the band was breaking up if the picture didn’t have the full complement of faces – so I just pulled in a guy from the street and took the shot.”
