Thank you all so much for 2024. I am so grateful for the artists and promoters who allow me to do what I do, and to everyone who leaves a like or a comment or shares my post or throws my name out for gigs, or just makes for a great crowd for me to shoot - thank you so much. I have had such an incredible year documenting the scene in Wellys, and travelling shooting festivals and shows. I completed all of my goals I set myself this year, and have met so many incredible people and groups. If you had told me even two years ago the kinds of work I’d be doing, or shown me these photos, I wouldn’t have believed it. I started 2024 having just met Messie and Rova at Rhythm & Vines last year, and within months these guys were achieving at such a high level and getting me into places I always wanted to be, all the credit to them. to see them pack out thousands this week - a year to the date, was phenomenal feeling and I cannot wait for what this year will bring for these two legends. Again, thank you to all those who support me and the local music scene, for giving me something to do every weekend.

Bring on 2025 🫡

Medley of portrait stuff from the last little while for @btellodj, @theyloveemerson, @rovatv & @rupert.powell. Super fun getting a bit weird on some of these, and get involved in some studio lighting for a change! Loved bringing these visions to life :)
Past two months have been mad busy! Keen to keep it rolling for the next couple here in Welly so hit me up if you are keen to work!
