Duration
I’ve been taking photos now for over 10 years from being side of the stage at Download Festival to being assigned as Evander Holyfield’s photographer at a gambling tournament.
Experience
Shooting live music for so long and in cramped, harsh lighting conditions, really pushed me to get to know the camera inside and out. I used to shoot for an agency and in the pit you’re allowed to photograph 3 songs before you’re escorted out so the pressure to get the photos right and capture something interesting was definitely a challenge but the confidence it’s given me to handle the camera in any situation is massive.
Passion
It’s Mountain Biking, Music and Portrait work – all completely from each other but all bring their own challenges and creativity.
