MUSIC PHOTOGRAPHY KENT AND SUSSEX

Music photography in Kent and Sussex. I have worked with a number of bands and love capturing the energy of your live performances and producing creative promo images. 

It was the work of Anton Corbijn that first turned my head to music photography. It was his work on U2's Joshua Tree album that really struck a chord with me. His grainy monochromatic images were powerful and distinctive.

Music has always been a big part of my life and it is always good to be able to bring two passions together. I've worked with a number of bands shooting everything from live performances to promo and cover work.

Live Performances...

GIGS AND LIVE PERFORMANCE PHOTOGRAPHY

Capturing the essence of performance

I love capturing the essence and energy of a live performance. Gig photography comes with its own challenges as venues differ considerably in access and lighting. The key to getting the best results is to get to know the venue, the setup and to have realistic expectations of what is possible in the conditions. You need the right kit and a proper understanding of how to get the best out of it.

I’ve worked in a variety of venues throughout the South East such as The Forum in Tunbridge Wells, The Grey Lady in Tunbridge Wells, The Green Door Store in Brighton, Halfmoon in London, The Haunt in Brighton, Festivals, Clapham Grand in London

I use professional cameras and lenses well suited for low light photography to ensure I can work in most environments.

LOCATION AND PROMO PHOTOGRAPHY

I love location work. I am often working in the outdoors through a love of the landscape. I always keep my eyes open for great spots to shoot in. I've travelled and explored widely throughout the South East and the wider UK. I'm an ideas person and I think outside the box when it comes to creative concepts.

I have plenty of ideas for great album covers and really enjoy bouncing ideas around with other creatives. I already have a considerable catalogue of images many shot with album and book covers in mind.

Working outdoors in both urban areas and in the wilds comes with its own challenges. I know the ins and outs of working in these environments, when to go to achieve the best results.
