Description

With years of experience in photographing live bands, as well as heading up photography teams for iconic venues, I have a wealth of experience in music photography. Having helped a lot of people of any age get started as a music photographer, I have put together all of the advice I give into this training course to help even more people get started with music photography.

As a music photographer I have photographed acts including Take That, Band of Skulls, Tom Odell, Lilly Allen, Andy Burrows, Bob Vylan, Don Broco, Enter Shikari, Fontaines DC, Kodaline, Punk Rock Factory, Skunk Anansie, Wargasm, Wolf Alice, Gary Numan and many many more! I also head up the photography team for the iconic Joiners music venue.

Subjects that I cover are:

  • Introduction to Music Photography

  • How to get started with a basic portfolio

  • How to get into gigs as a music photographer

  • Working as a music photographer at a venue

  • Music shots and editing

  • Music photography as a business, branding, marketing and writing

  • Music photography pitfalls and advice, money, time and mental health


Please note, this is not an in-depth course into how to use and setup your camera. A basic understanding of photography is required.

Who this course is for:

  • Anyone who wants to do music/gig photography but does not know how to get started or progress
