Tell us about you journey as a music photographer…

My grandad gave me a camera when I was young and ever since then I've always found the love for capturing specific colourful and fun moments! Throughout the years, the connections and friendships I’ve made have kept me strong and let me continue doing what I love.

What do you love about music photography?

The differences in each venue and the action shots I get. When someone in the pit does a crazy move you don't expect, I somehow manage to capture it!

Where do you usually shoot live music?

Liverpool, Birkenhead, Manchester, Leeds.
