Professional Classical Music Event Photographer in London

With over 30 years of experience as a classical musician photographer in London, I bring a deep love of music and a passion for capturing the magic of live performances in every shot. My work goes beyond simply documenting events; it’s about preserving the essence of a performance, freezing fleeting moments into timeless images. Whether it’s a grand symphony or an intimate recital, I aim to tell the story of the musicians and their music through my lens.

My journey has taken me to some of London’s most iconic concert venues, including the Royal Festival Hall, Queen Elizabeth Hall, Barbican Hall, Cadogan Hall, Wigmore Hall, and the Royal Albert Hall. These spaces are filled with history and artistry, providing the perfect backdrop for my work. I have also had the privilege of covering the BBC Proms, capturing both rehearsals and live performances in this prestigious festival that celebrates the power of music.

One of the highlights of my career came in 2007 when the BBC Proms commissioned me to photograph the Simon Bolivar Youth Orchestra of Venezuela, led by their conductor Gustavo Dudamel. These photographs were published internationally, including in El País, showcasing the energy and passion of the orchestra to audiences around the globe. It was an unforgettable experience that reaffirmed my commitment to this unique form of art.

In addition to concert photography, I also specialise in portrait photography for musicians and performers. Whether you’re looking to create professional portraits or capture behind-the-scenes moments, my expertise ensures that every image reflects your personality and passion for your craft. I also extend my skills to dance and other genres of music, providing tailored photography services to meet diverse creative needs.

If you’re seeking a dedicated and experienced dance and music photographer, look no further. My portfolio reflects a lifetime of commitment to celebrating music through the art of photography.
