2025 HIGHLIGHTS | CAPTURING THE CHAOS & MAGIC

This year wasn’t just about shooting; it was about growing. I started expanding my skills into writing articles and music reviews, opening up a whole new way to share my passion for music.

And what a year it’s been — touring in April with Defences, Eville, and Redhook, fueled by music, chaos, and far too much beer; photographing some of my absolute favourites, including Bullet for My Valentine, Motionless in White, Bilmuri, Caskets (again!) Working with Defences at Download Festival, a milestone I’d been waiting for. Returning for my second year at Bloodstock, because who can resist bin jousting and dust pits. Experiencing main stage access at Slam Dunk with Hit The Lights, hands down the funniest and most down-to-earth crew I’ve worked with this year and creating first-time magic with ROM-1 at Mighty Hoopla, soaking up the festival’s vibrant energy.

Now, not everything went smoothly (festival season decided to shake things up a bit), but even through the chaos, this year has been one of the most rewarding yet. I’ve travelled, I’ve learned, I’ve laughed, and I’ve been lucky enough to work with some of the most talented and genuine people in the industry.

To the artists, management teams, and everyone who trusted me to capture their world — thank you for your constant and unwavering support. Here’s to 2026: more stages, more stories, and probably more questionable snacks eaten at 2am on tour buses.
