Sweat, Smoke, Distortion and Truth
This isn’t your polished, soft-focus PR fluff. This is sweat, smoke, distortion, and truth.
Whether it’s back-alley promo shots, raw rehearsal room portraits, or capturing the wild heartbeat of a live gig, I shoot bands and artists like I shoot the streets; unfiltered, alive, and unafraid.

I work with musicians who give a damn about how they look off-stage as much as on. You don’t need to smile. You don’t need to pose. You need to show up as you are, and I’ll do the rest.
PORTRAIT & PROMO SHOOTS
Forget white walls and perfect lighting. I shoot in real locations with natural light; gritty doorways, graffitied alleyways, empty stages before the crowd rolls in. Promo shots that feel like album covers. Portraits that say more than a bio ever could.
LIVE GIG PHOTOGRAPHY
I shoot the moments others miss; the sweat dripping off your brow, the crowd losing their minds, the blur of movement mid-solo. Flash-free, fast-paced, right up in the chaos. If it’s too clean, it didn’t really happen.
FOR BANDS, SOLO ARTISTS & MISFITS
From metal to hip hop, punk to jazz; I don’t care what you play. If you’ve got something to say, I’ll help you shout it louder through visuals that hit as hard as your sound.
Let’s make something loud.

I don’t care how polished your pitch is. Whether you're unsigned and rehearsing in your mate’s garage, or you're gigging hard across the UK, if you’ve got the attitude, I’ve got the lens. Let's make something real.
I am open to do unpaid shoots with the right people (you have nothing to lose - pop me a message)
