photo & video SERVIES

Music Photography and Video, Manchester & North West

For over a decade I’ve been photographing live music, bands, and artists—capturing everything from raw energy on stage to the intimate moments behind the scenes. My work goes beyond just documenting; it’s about telling your story as a musician and bringing your sound and personality to life through images and film.

I offer a full range of creative services for artists at every stage:

Promo photography for press, releases, and campaigns
Music videos & video highlights that bring your songs and performances to life
EPKs that impress promoters, agents, and labels
Live gig coverage with powerful photos and cinematic video edits
Tour photography & video to document life on the road
Festival coverage – photos & videos of Your your set, the crowd & the atmosphere on a bigger stage and behind it
Social media content creation designed for preffered platforms

Whether you need a quick promo shoot, a full video production, or someone to ride along and capture the highs of tour life—I create bold, authentic photographs that will match the energy of your music.

Coverage From small local Gigs to Big festivals
