I'm a photographer photographing primarily musician portraits & concerts.

Currently I'm based in Manchester, but lucky enough to be able to say, commissions have taken me all over the place. I love travelling on the job.

I’m obsessed with trying to nail ‘that shot’.

I shoot any shows from small intimate venues, to huge arenas, as long as the music is awesome, I’ll be there.

Some recent clients include Kerrang! Magazine, Manchester International Festival, Bavaria Beer, Jack Daniels UK, NME, MCR Pale Ale, Skinny Magazine, BMG Records + more.

Portrait wise – I work closely with record labels /management / agency / direct with the artist to deliver PR shoots primarily for album artwork / EP artwork / Other marketing uses.

I’m lucky enough to be able work with some amazing people from all walks of life!
