Trying out a new format here, hopefully it works ️ last month I photographed @daisy_hoppen and her team @dh_pr as they worked on the Raw Mango show at London Fashion Week. The photos accompany excellent @lucy_maguire_ ‘s article on @voguebusiness about what it’s like to be a PR in fashion right now.~~~~#londonfashionweek #pr

On Friday night I had the incredible pleasure of going to @yungblud ‘s show in Leeds for @kerrangmagazine_ where me and @jingle1991 shot/wrote a review of the northern rocker. Supporting him were @thewarningrockband who were and @themolotovs whom we also did a little backstage thing with (more on this next week, and thank you for being so lovely ). I’m excited to take my Mum along to the Manchester show next week Thank you @expectation_mgmt ️ I love my silly job x~~~~#yungblud #yungbludarmy #leeds #kerrang

My edit of my pics from 2026’s @mcrpunkfest - pictures shot for @sxswlondon (thank you so much @ryanbassil ️ I love this festival so much. Pretty much every year I only know a handful of bands but discover so many absolute acts both old and new. The punk scene is so warm and welcoming and silly and all the love to @tnsrecords for having me back to photograph yet again. I can’t wait for next year already x~~~~#manchesterpunkfestival #punk #ukpunk #moshpits

Punk’s not dead At SXSW London, we’re championing music scenes around the world. This is the UK’s punk and mosher scene, lensed by photographer and journalist @christopherbethell. He travelled to @mcrpunkfest earlier this month to take portraits of moshers from different generations – those who experienced the explosion of punk during their youth, and a new generation finding community in the post-punk scene.At SXSW London, our programme covers Nigerian drill, the South Korean underground, Afrobeat and far, far more. Music passes are live on the site now.

Back in the blistering cold of January I had the utmost pleasure of photographing @grade2iow for their album campaign (Talk About It is out now and I can guarantee it is I had the lyrics to Hanging Onto You rolling around my head for the entire shoot and longer). Myself and @andrewbarker101 headed down to the Isle of Wight where we followed the boys around a few spots - waving a greased-up-board-of-perspex in front of them, smoke grenades behind them, and awkwardly forcing them to hold a beaten up mirror. I’m so happy with the pics and this is my edit of my favs. Huge thanks to @epitaphrecords for commissioning me! To @thelittlesthc for recommending me! To Andy for assisting me! And to Grade 2 for surviving the winter ️

So it’s going to be a while til I post any of my pictures from @florideahswampfest mainly due to the large volume of images I shot. But in the meantime, here’s a few snaps I really liked from the days following when I had a little jolly around the state.#florida #sunshinestate #horse #spanishmoss

The Royal Shrovetide Football! 2026! My fifth year going along, and it was as mad as ever. This was the fist year I actually saw a goal (usually I’m long gone as they happen in the freezing cold of the night). I’ll post som wider context pics, things I found funny and the goal itself on my next post. But I just had some fun with panoramic crops into my pics of the scrums that I hope make you feel a little like you’re right up in the chaos. Shot for @timeoutlondon and also @dispatch__media will be publishing their selection of my pics tomorrow!~~~~#shrovetide #royalshrovetidefootball #shrovetidefootball #ashbourne #documentaryphotography

I’ve long said that one of my favourite things in the world is to be dropped in the middle of thousands of people - all gathered around some shared love or obsession, with a camera in my hand. And how wonderful it was to do this at the Pokemon Game Day 2026. Honestly, the fact I get to call this kinda thing work is incredibly blessed. Here’s some pics of things, moments and interactions I found funny or interesting ️ shot for @timeoutlondon ~~~~#pokemoneurope #documentaryphotographer #funnyphotos

Happy birthday to my lovely pal @jakeunpeople ️ I met this man in a pit at @bloodstockopenair when I was doing silly little slo-mo videos of headbangers, and now he fronts up one of my fav bands @weareunpeople I did a little re-edit on the pic I took of him at @downloadfest this year when I was photographing bands as they came off stage for @altpress . I’ve not shown enough of these and I’m having fun reprocessing them so expect a few more soon ️ oh, and swipe for Jake’s headbanging moment ~~~~#headbanger #moshpit #ukrock #portrait_shots
