CONCERT PHOTOGRAPHY
2025
This year, I've been reaching out to more artists than ever before - and have been given opportunities to shoot The Zutons at Rock City and The Lottery Winners at O2 Shepherd's Bush Empire!
I also worked with Manchester-based ROLLA to photograph their Indie Showcase headline in Sheffield, shooting some behind-the-scenes content as well as onstage; local artist Louie Walsh, photographing the St Patrick's Day event in Nottingham's Old Market Square; and Bring The Noise Festival in Sheffield for Taped Magazine.
In the coming months, I'll be shooting Dot to Dot Festival in Nottingham for Taped Magazine, with hopefully more to come!
2024
I bought a secondhand bridge camera at the start of summer so I could make the most of incredible festival lineups - taking it into Glastonbury, Isle Of Wight, Truck and On The Beach Festivals, I had opportunities to photograph some incredible artists including The Last Dinner Party, Sea Girls, Corella, and The Kooks.
In August, I collaborated with local artist Joe Barnett, shooting the cover art and promotional visuals for his debut E.P, "The Acoustic Sessions".
After summer, I reached out to Taped Magazine for photography opportunities, and got the chance to shoot for them for one of my current favourites, The K's, at O2 Academy Leicester, and one of my childhood favourites, Scouting For Girls, at HMV Empire Coventry.
2023
I continued building my own connections, working again with The Covasettes, and Overpass, as well as Tom A. Smith and Pentire. The venues these artists played in were growing, from Sydney And Matilda to Network, and Bodega to The Rescue Rooms.
I was also able to secure myself a photopass for Golden Touch Festival in June, despite not shooting for a specific artist or publication, which was helpful to gain experience working in a more fast-paced and unpredictable environment.
2022
I shot my first concert at the end of April, approximately three hours after I submitted my final pieces of A Level Photography coursework!
I spent summer 2022 taking my camera into gigs and festivals where possible to build up my portfolio, receiving my first official photopass from City Dog the month before I moved to Nottingham for university. I continued messaging artists looking for photography opportunities, shooting at small venues in Nottingham and Sheffield for artists including Overpass, Candid and The Covasettes before the end of the year.
2018-2022
I studied photography for both GCSE and A Levels (2019-2022), and have been taking photos since I got my first camera in 2016.
My A Level project explored the theme of identity, focusing on Jungian archetypes to explore shared human experiences and the different aspects of a personality - the three images in the top row were inspired by Ashvini Ray's 'Untitled Series', Lia Clay Miller's 'Worldwide Pride Journal', and Inge Morath and Saul Steinberg's 'Mask Series'.
I also won the Rotary Club's annual photography competition twice during my time at secondary school - with the two images in the bottom row - in 2018 and 2019!
