Gig Photography

I have a passion for music, which includes making it, playing different instruments, and documenting it. I feel that it is important to document the scene, and I have used my 'in' with a few bands in town to have an excuse to stand on stages with a camera! I think it is important to capture this, as Dunedin has a rich musical history, and I think it is important to keep this legacy alive - which is why I really enjoy it.

Below is Frank on Tap at Ubar in 2023, then followed by them in 2022. It's great to continue to work with clients over time. Great bunch of lads, and talented musicians. (they asked for the same style of images!)

With gig photography, I like to be expressive and try to show the feeling and atmosphere o the gig. I have been experimenting with long exposures recently, as I really like the energy that they bring into photos. Combining the photo with manual effects is also a passion of mine.
