Welcome 

Hello,

I’m Sarah Marchant, the shutter-clicking key-tapper behind Metal Monkey. Here on this site you will find a selection of jobs I have undertaken in recent years, chief among them: web editing and photography.

I’m a passionate Mac enthusiast and am never far from the keyboard. I have an eye for what makes a good website and specialise in helping individuals, small businesses and organisations deliver their message effectively online.

I also have just as warm a relationship with my Nikon DSLR, always looking to capture the moments and perspectives that would otherwise be lost to the passing of time. A good number of my photographs have been published in the press, or used for promotional posters.

Please don’t hesitate to get in touch to discuss what Metal Monkey could do for you.
I’m happy to help.

Sarah

 Linz Europe Harbour Festival07.07.2009 

Another trip to Austria under my belt. This time to attend and photograph the Linz Europa Hafenfest for Hubert von Goisern’s web site.

Before the three-day festival began in Linz harbour Hubert von Goisern and his band took to the streets in the surrounding region to drum up further interest together with a number of the guest bands. I joined them at their street concerts in the Salzkammergut and the sold-out warm-up concert in the Lehartheater, Bad Ischl.

Zdob si Zdub

The harbour festival itself was a real musical extravaganza, with performances from artists from across Europe. There was dialect rock from Germany, Carpathian ska from the Ukraine, gypsy brass from Bulgaria … Three days full of very exciting music and a whole host of performers to photograph, including big stars such as Xavier Naidoo, who made a surprise appearance on the last day.

 Big in Bruneck18.05.2009 

This is definitely the biggest print I’ve ever seen of one of my photos! My photo of Marlene Schuen and Hubert von Goisern is being used by the local organiser to promote the forthcoming HvG concert in Bruneck, Italy. But never mind sticking to boring old A2 proportions, this poster is currently on display in the town square at a majestic 5 x 10 metres!
