Music photography that gets you noticed.
Great music needs great images.
Whatever part of the music industry you work in, you need images that do a job; grabbing attention, building audiences and helping sell music, tickets and merch.
I understand that a great photograph isn't enough. It needs to work for you.
LIVE
The energy of a great live show is one of the best ways to sell the next one.
I create dynamic live photography that captures artists at their best and gives you strong, professional images ready for promotion, publicity and social media.
Years behind the camera have taught me how to anticipate the moments that matter, work confidently in challenging conditions and get the shot without getting in the way.
BEHIND THE SCENES
Give audiences a glimpse beyond the stage.
From soundchecks and rehearsals to the moments surrounding a performance, I work unobtrusively to create authentic images that bring audiences closer to the people behind the music.
PORTRAITS + PROMOTIONAL
Strong promotional photography becomes part of an artist's identity.
I create distinctive portraits and promotional images with their purpose in mind; giving you photography that works across campaigns, press, digital platforms and promotion.
EXPERIENCE THAT MATTERS
I've spent many years photographing live music, including festivals and working as part of a team of house photographers at a live music venue.
I've photographed Mipso during their European tour, with my work subsequently used for tour promotion, while Ben Ottewell of Gomez licensed one of my images to promote his US solo tour.
I understand live music. I understand the pressures of working around it. And I understand why you need the images in the first place.
LET'S TALK
You know what you want your audience to do.
My job is to create the images that help make it happen.

“As an artist, you say something about yourself in your work. That is what distinguishes your own work from that of others.”
