I love working as a music festival videographer in London! I had a lovely time shooting Bakermat‘s live show at South West Four (SW4) in London, The UK. Not only that, the weather was absolutely gorgeous and the London crowd were fantastic as always. Special thanks to Rakesh, Thierry and Bakermat team for this awesome show.

So here is the after movie to capture the amazing bank holiday summer afternoon. Enjoy!

As a music photographer based in the UK, shooting gigs and festivals around the world was and is always my dream job. Yes I literally dream about capturing artists on stage!

Having the trust from the artists and promoters 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.

About #GigCapture

To remember all the best moments I had as a music photographer, I started my #GigCapture series on Instagram. Posting one photo from a gig everyday.

Have a look at my recent work here.

Some of them are local music events based in England, such as The Warehouse Project, MiNT Leeds, Fez Presents, O2 Academy Sheffield & Manchester, The Tuesday Club, Hope Works, Chrome Events, HD Life, Ahora and more.

For me, all these moments mean everything.

Music Photographer for Festival and Tour

I believe my portfolio is very important to myself. Always try my best to photograph every event to the absolute best of my ability. By constantly looking for new angles and build my collection of images. I never just go through the motions, or photograph every event the same. Essentially, I want everything I photograph to be honest and raw. Creating photos that best reflect the atmosphere and what music brings to the crowd.

The style of my photography is very much documentary and photojournalistic. As mentioned previously, I try to capture those in-between moments and behind the scenes. Those are the heart of what the DJs, artists, crowd and party are all about.

If you want to see some more of my images or find out more upcoming music events happening in the UK, you can send me a message via our contact page. No matter the size of your party, the destination of your event or however unique it is, I want to be involved in your night.

In November 2018, I went on tour with Justin Mylo as his tour photographer in China. During this mini weekend tour we visited Shanghai and Taiyuan, played at two epic clubs in China – Myst Shanghai and Dr. Oscar Taiyuan.

Apart from the shows, we also managed to squeeze in some tourist time in between two cities. Emilio and I share the same passion in good Chinese hotpot, exploring the city, after party and vodka (see below for a photo of him cuddling the beloved Grey Goose).

The production in both clubs are superb. I specially love the massive 10m height LED screen at Dr. Oscar. It was just perfect to showcase the visual show production made by Boxcat Design. Needless to say, both gigs were guaranteed to be filled with endless confetti, Co2 cannon and epic lasers. It is always a treat for tour photographer in China!
