Live Performance
Three years on from our first event photography collaboration, I had the pleasure of capturing yet another beautiful event - London City Orchestra's 5th anniversary concert! Led by the very talented conductor Pablo Urbina, the orchestra offered a lovely evening of classical music at Oxford Circus's Regent Hall, right at the heart of central London.
The theme for this year's spring programme was Death and Rebirth, a lovely exploration […]

July 2016, when summer descended upon its London fans...
What better reason to celebrate life with family, friends, music & good food than a sunny weekend in the capital, announcing the return of hot weather? And if you add a free, fun-filled, eclectic festival like Walthamstow Garden Party - it sounds just irresistible!
Marking the festival's third year in Lloyd Park in east London, 2016's programme got even bigger and better according to its organisers, with an exciting mix of local and international talent, showcasing the communities and creativity of Waltham Forest.[…]

This past Bank Holiday weekend was truly interesting, mainly because of this event I attended and photographed on Saturday. It was Hackoustic's third of this kind and it offered audiences a cool, relaxed evening of performances, talks, demonstrations and sound installations featuring designer Chloe Meineck, researcher Diego Baresch, instrument builder Dan Wilson and artist Rodrigo Viterbo.[…]

The RCM Big Band directed by British jazz trumpeter Guy Barker and guest starring legendary drummer Dave Weckl. What a grand finale to an amazing day-long event and a truly unmissable opportunity for my life performance photography!
Hosted in the lovely Britten Theatre just opposite the Royal Albert Hall, the evening concert was a tribute to American jazz drummer Buddy Rich’s best known works. Alongside some world-class talent, young musicians from the Royal College of Music joined forces to close one of my favourite annual events in style - the Festival of Percussion. I just had to attach a photo memento of last nights's brilliant event!

There is something exciting about the beginning of a new year and new projects, ventures and collaborations. Well 2016 brought just that in the month of January: I got to shoot my first concert at the lovely Cadogan Hall in Sloane Square with the Light of Music Philharmonic Orchestra.
And if you happen to be less familiar with it, the Cadogan Hall is one of London's leading concert venues, located in the heart of Chelsea [...]

What is it about circus that's so mysterious, exciting, euphoria-inducing, scary and somehow poetic at the same time? Is it the after dark performances, is it the characters portrayed, the costumes or the routines? The element of danger, the feeling of naughtiness and pushing boundaries? It might as well be all of these things, collectively casting a spell that's always fascinated my photographic senses. [...]

Every year mid-August, one of my personal highlights of being around in London - as an event photographer and a music lover - is the Canary Wharf Jazz Festival.
It's the capital’s largest free jazz festival that's bringing together music fans from all different corners of the world [...]

Musical fireworks on the 4th of July! That's how I would summarize London City Orchestra's concert 'An American in London' from St Sepulchre's Church a few weeks ago. Led by the brilliant and ever passionate conductor Pablo Urbina and with a soloist as talented as Oliver Poole, they put on the ideal performance to celebrate America's most iconic composers and of course, Independence Day!
Down in the heart of the City of London, St Sepulchre's Church vibrates through faith and music. Also known as National Musicians' Church [...]
