A few reasons to get me to take photos for you…
The most important thing to remember is I’m passionate about what I do. This isn’t just a job – it’s a vocation.
If you’re not happy then neither am I.
AN EYE FOR AN IMAGE
I know what works and what doesn’t – so when I am shooting live events I make sure I get the shots that count and will help you sell future shows as well as giving you great memories.
PROFESSIONAL EQUIPMENT
I work with top-end Nikon and Sony DSLRs with a range of long, wide, and super-wide lenses plus creative lighting systems that can add extra impact.
FAST AND RELIABLE
You will get your images back as quickly as you need them – either straight off the camera for news purposes or with creative post-production editing.
FRIENDLY AND EASY TO WORK WITH
If you aren’t comfortable and relaxed I’m not doing my job properly – and I’m a musician myself, so if you need me to work with the talent at your event I’ll put them at their ease.
Events, gigs and festivals
There when it matters
There’s a moment that defines every gig or event – and knowing when to be in the right place with the right camera and settings to capture it is something I’ve learnt the hard way.
CAMERAS
Nikon D5, D850 – Sony A9, A7s IV
Editing
Lightroom, Portrait Pro.
Lighting
GODOX wireless battery heads with effects.
Commitment to quality
100%
Portraits
The Secret of Success…
Relaxed subjects are critical to a great studio or location set. It’s amazing how performers can suddenly become very awkward when they aren’t in front of an audience. I do my best to ensure you are comfortable and happy to let the camera see you in the way you want to be seen.

Part 3 of 3 … My top ten live music photos of 2024 rapidly turned into a top 300… so here’s part 1 of 3 in a rapid fly-by to thank all the bands, venues, promoters, publications, festivals, managers, agents, and crowds who let me work with them or just take photos of them in 2024. Way too many of you to tag here, but looking forward to more great photo opportunities in 2025. #musicphotography #gigphotography #concertphotography #festivalphotography #livemusic #festivals #nikoneurope #festivalflyer
