Live Performance Photography

Live shows are bursting with energy and unpredictability, and live performance photography is about capturing that atmosphere in every frame. From intimate Fringe festivals to full-scale concerts, I create images that reflect both the performers and the audience’s reactions. PR photography for live shows plays a vital role in promotion, helping productions connect with their audiences before they even take to the stage. Whether it’s the drama of theatre, the excitement of comedy, or the raw energy of live music, I specialise in producing striking images that showcase the heart of your event.

The magic of Fringe Festivals

Fringe performances are one of my favourite things to shoot. They’re unpredictable, intimate, and often wildly creative. You never know what to expect—one night might be experimental theatre in a tiny venue, the next could be comedy in a pub or live music in a hidden corner of the city. Photographing Fringe festivals is as much about capturing the reactions of the audience as it is about the performers. The joy, surprise, and laughter are what make these events unforgettable.
