Hi Everyone,
As some of you might have noticed, I do not post on here much anymore...
I've had a lot of people ask me if I still take photos and shoot videos and the answer to both is still yes...
I wasn't quite sure if I wanted to continue on my media journey for a couple of years, because the truth is, it had burnt me out.
I took a serious break and explored other potential career paths, but none of them really allowed me to express myself in a way that photograhy, video and graphics did.
However, everyone grows as a person over time, and the things that represent you change like everything else. Now it is time to move past the Infected Monkey brand and ahead with a new vision...
Infected Monkey started before I had graduated University in 2010.
People have asked me about the name before so just to clarify, the films 28 Days Later and Outbreak were the direct inspiration for the name and logo.
It began as an absolute pipe dream. Something that I said on the spot to one of my film school lecturers because he was questioning my plans for after I finished degree. I said I had the contacts in the music industry to start doing projects immediately, but that was a fu***ng lie. I knew no one and had literally only ever been to one gig...
At this point now, I have shot over 1000 individual artists, 50 music videos, countless live performances, been on a few dozen tours all under the Infected Monkey banner.
I really could have never envisioned that this absolute pipe dream would become an absolute reality, but somehow through determination and support from those around me, it did...
It has been 11 years, this is not the end, just the beginning of something exciting and different, which you will all be directed to through this page shortly. I will still have the page open to redirect people, but there won't be anything new posted here going forward.
I look forward to many more good times under a new banner, but for now...RIP Infected Monkey Media.
Cheers and Beers!
Adrian.
