The last ever Cocoon In The Park 2019 returned to Leeds Temple Newsam with a bang! The lineup includes tech-house favourites Patrick Topping, Edible boss Eats Everything b2b We Are The Brave boss Alan Fitzpatrick, the legendary Carl Craig and FUSE London originators Enzo Siragusa and Rich NxT, and of course the one of only, Sven Vath.
Thanks Papa Sven and Foz for having me again at this annual celebration in Leeds! Even though 2019 marks the “last ever” CITP, we surely have something even bigger planned for the years to come!
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.
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.
MiNT Fest is back! As part of the official photographer team of MiNT Festival 2018 (3 years in a row!) I was over the moon to be back to photograph this music festival in Leeds again! This year we had the epic Arcadia Stage, and System stage is the biggest ever! The Leeds raving crowd is amazing as usual.
Here is a mini collection of the photos I’ve taken at MiNT Festival 2018 in Leeds. The full album can be found on MiNT Festival website and Facebook page.

My first year as official photographer at Cocoon In The Park 2017. Leeds Temple Newsam. Line up including: Sven Vath, Adam Beyer, Joseph Capriati, Richy Ahmed and more.
It was surely a milestone of my festival music photographer career. I enjoyed every single second at CITP this year. It felt amazing to witness the legendary Sven Vath spinning the decks up close in person. Also as a bonus, the weather was absolutely glorious. It is to the point that I was so amazed to see how blue the sky was in Leeds when I was editing the photos.
