IMS Ibiza Event Photography
Behind the Lens: Shooting IMS Ibiza at Hard Rock and Hyde

The electronic music industry’s annual heartbeat just wrapped up, and I had the incredible privilege of capturing the action on the ground. This year, my camera took me across two completely contrasting, stunning settings for the International Music Summit (IMS): Hard Rock Hotel and Hyde Ibiza.

As an event and music photographer, balancing the corporate-meets-creative energy of IMS across different venues is the ultimate playground. Here is a look at what went down through my lens.

Venue 1: The High-Energy Panels at Hard Rock Hotel

Hard Rock has long been an iconic pillar of the IMS landscape, known for hosting heavy-hitting industry panels, tech masterclasses, and massive indoor-outdoor networking spaces.

  • The Vibe: Sleek, professional, and buzzing with energy. The lighting here requires balancing the bright, natural Mediterranean sun with high-contrast indoor stage setups.
  • What I Captured: Keynote speakers, tech showcases, live brand activations, and the sharp, candid interactions of global delegates, label heads, and artists talking shop.
Venue 2: The Poolside Disconnect at Hyde Ibiza

Located in the stunning, pine-framed bay of Cala Llonga, Hyde Ibiza (alongside its twin complex Mondrian) represents the fresh, bohemian-luxury era of the summit.

  • The Vibe: Relit, open-air, and deeply immersive. The aesthetic here transitions seamlessly from daytime wellness discussions to sunset poolside mixers.
  • What I Captured: High-end lifestyle shots, dynamic outdoor networking mixers, the “Art of Areté” wellness sessions, and open-air DJ performances set against dramatic coastal backdrops.

Capturing the Magic: Official Event and Award Photographer for TwitchCon Paris 2023

The energy in France was absolutely electric, the lighting setups were a dream, and the creative talent under one roof was unmatched. I am thrilled to share a look behind the lens as an official event and award photographer for TwitchCon Paris 2023!

From high-stakes esports showdowns to intimate community moments and mainstage awards, my camera was locked and loaded to frame the biggest weekend in the European creator economy.

The Ultimate Celebration of Streaming Culture at Paris Expo Porte de Versailles

For the first time ever, France hosted the ultimate squad-up at the iconic Paris Expo Porte de Versailles on July 8–9, 2023. As a professional event photographer specialising in high-energy, fast-paced conventions, my mission was to immortalise the raw emotion, candid fan interactions, and epic stage productions that defined this historic weekend.

From sharp, commercial-grade branding shots on the massive Expo Floor to crisp low-light stage captures, every frame was engineered to turn fleeting live moments into powerful brand collateral.

Star-Studded Highlights & Live Activities from the Paris Grid

The show floor was bursting with global talent. Here are just a few of the massive international live streamers and activities I tracked through my lens:

  • The Global Creator Meet & Greets: Capturing unforgettable, high-contrast portraits of fans meeting top UK and North American icons IRL, including TommyInnit, RanbooLive, Karl Jacobs, HasanAbi, and Nihachu.
  • The Power of the French Home Crowd: The local French streaming community brought unmatched energy. I was on the ground capturing the massive crowds surrounding top French creators like ZeratoR, JLTomy, Etoiles, and AngleDroit.
  • The Twitch Rivals Arena: High-octane gaming action required ultra-fast shutter speeds. I framed the intense face-offs, flying hands, and victory celebrations as Europe’s finest creators went head-to-head.
  • The Glitch Theatre Stage: Home to the premier events of the weekend, including the spectacular TwitchCon Drag Showcase, community award moments, and a massive live edition of the popular Banter Podcast hosted by Sapnap, Karl Jacobs, and GeorgeNotFound.Streams Charts
  • Interactive Workshops & Creator Camps: Documenting the technical side of the industry, where Twitch staff and veterans hosted panels on everything from advanced OBS setups to growing a community.
