2022: A fantastic year in music and media.
So..happy new year! As is traditional for January we always like to reflect back on the previous 12 months. Fortunately 2022 was pretty good, especially in terms of my broadcast media and music photography. Here’s a selection of my ‘best bits’, starting with Loftus agency and the BBC. It was great to be back in […]
Doc’n Roll energy in Sheffield.
It’s always nice to celebrate a friend’s success and at the Showroom Cinema in Sheffield I was able to do exactly that. Michelle Heighway and I have been mates for many years. And for the last seven of those she’s been working on a documentary about Damo Suzuki, former lead singer of krautrock legends CAN. […]
Quadros: Interactive electronica brings Sensoria to a close.
It has been brilliant being part of Sensoria this year. An added bonus was photographing the final gig of the festival. Anyone who has been following the Stroboscopic Project will be familiar with Dean Honer. A lover of all things electronica, Dean has led music creation on the project and features in the work playing […]
Waterways legends at Historic Narrowboat Rally.
Nestled in the heart of England, lies the picturesque village of Braunston. For waterways folk, Braunston marina is an important hub, located where the Grand Union and Oxford canals come together. Once a year though, the working buzz transforms into a carnival atmosphere, as Braunston holds its Historic Narrowboat Rally. And this year, waterways royalty […]
Happy to be back at Download, 2022.
So great to be back at Download this year. Big thanks to LD Communications for sorting my pass. As you know, this is one of my standouts in the festival season. Perfect start on the Friday too as my mates, Cellar Door Moon Crew, were up on the Dogtooth stage. Fab to see them and […]

In the past we’ve gone for a radio station set-up, but for the latest shoots I got to make some house calls. This is Gracie T, from Sheffield. She’s 24, really knowledgeable about music, teacher by day and DJ […]
Amazing year in music: NME, Uncut and N-Photo.
For anyone involved in the business of gigs – venues, promoters, management and of course artists – 2020 was a nightmare. And in 2021 the situation remained unpredictable. Despite everything though, the show did go on. Even as the travel restrictions and the tour cancellations continued, venues were open and festivals were back. Once again, […]
Uncut – Curated: Sleaford Mods.
Uncut has just published a curated edition of the magazine featuring Sleaford Mods. In 2014, I photographed the duo at Nottingham’s Rock City, for a Q Magazine commission. At the time, they were fairly new on the scene. But I got on really well with them, especially Andy who’s a fellow boater. So, it was […]
