What is Music in Micro-Fourthirds (or MFT/Micro43)?
A new site to challenge the convention, MFT cameras have a bad wrap in dark places, it's time to shake things up and show just what these tiny cameras can do! 

Shooting primarily with OM-D System Cameras, this site will have news reviews, tips for shooting in low light, interviews, and comparisons with other formats,

Music is my passion.  
The Challenge of Light
MFT cameras, or Micro four-thirds refer to the sensor, most people refer to cameras as full frame, cropped as well as medium format and Micro four-thirds. 
As the name suggests, the M43, is the smallest of the lot, and reduces the amount of light available for an image, but increases the opportunity for a challenge.
Olympus, OM -D & Me
I have been fortunate to have captured some incredible performers musicians and events over the years, from burlesque, IT conferences, The Pretenders, The Beach Boys, to Open Mic night diamonds. 


The Music in Micro Four Thirds is a project to showcase big sounds from small sensors

Up Coming Shows

: Alabama 3 - The Concord 2 Brighton 

South London’s beloved roots-futurists ALABAMA 3 have announced ‘STEP 13: THE DIVINE INTERVENTION TOUR’ set to take place in Spring 2022.
The group was born at an all-night squat party during the ’90s. Charismatic front man and co-founder Rob Spragg, started singing the lyrics to a Hank Williams song over an acid-house beat. Meanwhile, the other co-founder, the late Jake Black, a diehard Jazz fan, apparently re-joined with some bebop skat stylings. On that unforgettable night, the mutant embryo of the ALABAMA 3 was conceived.
Still adored the world over for 1997’s inaugural smash ‘Woke Up This Morning’, whose marriage of Howlin’ Wolf samples and trip hop beats provided the theme music for long-running HBO series ‘The Sopranos’, Alabama 3 have continued to explore their uniquely British absurdist twist on Americana, riven by post-rave aesthetics, savage socio-political satire, and lowlife narcotic misadventure. After touring 2016’s twelfth A3 studio album, called simply *Blues, which capped off a quarter-century of poly-cultural abuse came a turbulent few year involving the death of legendary songwriter Jake Black, aka The Very Reverend D, and the new normal we all face, the band bounced back with their latest album ‘Step 13’, released September 2021
