Hi I’m Lanty, a Manchester based photographer shooting for clubs, gigs and music festivals around the world.
With the passion of music, I have travelled around the world and covering major music festivals and events. You can read about my life as a photographer at my blog.
The style of my photography is very much documentary and photojournalistic. I constantly look for new angles and build my collection of images. I never just go through the motions, or photograph every event the same. I want everything I photograph to be honest and raw, creating photos that best reflect the atmosphere and what music brings to the crowd.
Having the trust from the artists and organisers to shoot their concerts and events is an awesome feeling. During that time I have been able to experience many wonderful moments, not just on the stage but with the people I have met along the way. To remember all the best moments I had as a music photographer, I started my #GigCapture series on Instagram & Twitter, posting one photo from a gig everyday.
