Live music & festival photography · Birmingham & West Midlands
The electric energy of live performance, from headline acts to emerging artists.
Over the years, I've had the privilege of photographing an incredible line-up, from chart-topping artists like Pixie Lott, Sophie Ellis-Bextor, Lisa Stansfield, General Levy and Artful Dodger to iconic bands including Fun Lovin' Criminals, The Human League, Aswad, Mogwai and Boney M, alongside DJs Jo Whiley and Martin Kemp.

Live music and festival photography in Birmingham and the West Midlands
From the photo pit at Solihull Summerfest to late-night sets in Birmingham, I photograph live music the way it feels from the front row: loud, sweaty, joyful and over in a heartbeat. Across more than 50 live events I have photographed headline acts including Pixie Lott, Sophie Ellis-Bextor, Lisa Stansfield, The Human League, Fun Lovin' Criminals and Mogwai, alongside DJs Jo Whiley and Martin Kemp.
The stage is only half the story. Some of my favourite frames come from the crowd: arms in the air, rain ponchos and glitter, friends singing every word back to the band. Promoters and festivals use that mix for press, social media and next year's ticket campaign, so I always cover both.
If you are a band, artist, promoter or venue in Birmingham, Solihull or anywhere across the West Midlands, I offer fast turnaround and high resolution images ready for press and social. Live music and event coverage starts from £300, and emerging artists are always welcome.
