Behind the Camera

Most of Amble’s tour photos are by Adam "Hef" Heffernan. He isn’t in the band; he’s behind the camera.

Adam "Hef" Heffernan is a photographer from Waterford, Ireland, now based in Barcelona. He works on commercial and artistic projects, and describes his personal work as a form of social observation and storytelling. He took most of Amble’s tour photos, and his photos have run with coverage of the band, such as Ones To Watch’s feature on “The Commons”.
