Simon Watson, 43, works at the North Walsham Sainsbury's store and took the photos at a gig in Epic Studios, Norwich, on September 13.

Despite photography being a hobby in his teenage years, he gave it up when he started retail work and only picked it up again three years ago.

Father-of-two Mr Watson, from north Norfolk, said: 'I thought I would go to the shoot and that would be the end of the matter. I didn't think it would end up like this. I felt very proud. It was something that I always wanted to do but never had the chance. Everyone at the gig was really nice and friendly.' He is a fan of the band which made the hit Fade to Grey. Visage, which includes original singer Steve Strange, formed in 1978 but broke up in 1985. They reappeared between 2004-2010 and reformed last year.
