Music Photography
At the very start of my freelance photography journey, my main focus was music photography. Being able to document events onstage as well as being granted access backstage to capture images behind-the-scenes was always an exhilarating and exciting experience.
Over the years I have had some amazing “pinch me” opportunities - from working alongside up-and-coming acts through to rubbing shoulders with pop royalty. My first official commission was to photograph The Feeling perform live during the Dermot O’Leary Christmas Special for BBC Radio 2. Further requests followed and I soon found myself photographing Robbie Williams, Bon Jovi, Elton John and even Taylor Swift! My images have been published internationally having been featured in prestigious magazines such as Hello and Mojo, on CD/LP/DVD covers as well as in tour programmes.
Music Photography still manages to work its way into my diary each year, although sadly on a much reduced scale than it used to due to my other commitments. But whenever I find myself back in front of a stage (or even behind it) I still feel the same buzz and excitement that I did 15 years ago! One of my biggest achievements over the last couple of years has been photographing Midge Ure at the Royal Albert Hall (a definite once in a lifetime opportunity!) with the photos subsequently used extensively on the limited edition album release.
Below you will find a small handful of my favourite images from years gone by - if you would like to commission me to photograph live music sessions or events then please get in touch.
