Desert Daze - Festival 2021

I was so happy to be back taking photos in the US after such a long time not beeing able to travel due to the Pandemic !

With Lake Perris in southern California as its backdrop, Desert Daze aims to be an intimate Festival with a sharp Line Up and an amazing atmosphere ! The 2021 edition was scaled down but still pretty exciting with The War on Drugs, Kamasi Washington, Deap Vally, Ty Segall, Kikagaku Moyo and many more bands on the bill. Definetely one on my list of favorite Festivals. A few pictures below :

TRNSMT - Festival 2019

Second year in a row for me working as part of the TRNSMT Festival Team in Glasgow. Highlight of the weekend was Scottish Beyoncé Lewis Capaldi headlining the Main Stage ! More pics by the Team and myself here.

Josh T Pearson - UK Tour May 2018

Earlier this month, I got the chance to spend a week on tour with Josh T Pearson. He is well known for his work with Lift to Experience and has just released a new Album "The Straight Hits!" The shows were amazing ! Some pictures below.

Arcade Fire - Glasgow April 2018

Beautiful production and such a fun show. It was a pleasure to get to photograph Arcade Fire at their Glasgow show.

Afropunk Brooklyn 2016 - Festivals

At the end of August, I have photographed Afropunk Festival in NYC for Live Nation TV. Such an amazing festival fighting against homophobia, racism and sexism. 

Summer Update

Hello,I have not been able to put that many updates in the last few weeks. I am just back from Open'er Festival in Poland. I also shot : * Savages in Berlin for Line of Best Fit * Tom Odell at the Lido for Redferns/Getty

I went to Primavera Festivals in Barcelona and in Porto with amazing performances such as Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, Blur, Liars, Deerhunter that I've seen 4 times in a week ! I shot portraits of Local Natives and Liars. I also shot Hurricane Festival in Germany for Redferns/Getty. Queens of The Stone Age were great !! I also went to British Sea Power and missed Wavves unfortunately. They got stuck in traffic and never made it to the show. Poor them !

And to finish I went to Calexico and Patti Smith, they played for the anniversary of a Berlin's venue called Zitadelle. There is a massive update on my flickr page from Primavera pictures. More will follow soon.

I had some work published in a few online magazines, mostly announcing Arctic Monkeys New Album and Bassist Kim Deal leaving the Pixies... Fuse, Billboard, Vulture,  MusikExpress, Entertainment Weekly, Time, and a few American Radios Websites 101.9, Khou, Rock 108.

I will post more photos from the Festivals that I have shot in the next few weeks. I am leaving soon for France & New York.

Back from Tour

I got back from a five weeks tour with Nada Surf last sunday. It was a great experience. I will put pictures up as soon as I have got time. So weird to be back ! Now I just need to find a very nice band to take me on tour again. Since I got back, I shot Passion Pit at the Forum and a couple of the MENCAP Little Noise Sessions gigs. I shot Richard Hawley who was of course amazing, Prince Charles, Noah and The Whale and a few other bands. It was a great set up in a church I've never ever seen before and only five minutes walk from my place. If you want to give to MENCAP, here you go.

Updates

Earlier this year, I shot a couple of portraits for my friends' band which is called "Winters". Their LP is now out on Van Records. My picture has been used on the insert of the Vinyl and for their Press pack. They had some good reviews, if you're into Metal, check them out ! The last couple of weeks, I also shot Kimbra, Patti Smith and Perfume Genius for the Line of Best Fit. I also shot a couple of gigs at the Roundhouse for the Itunes Festival, Madness, Reverend and the Makers, Kindness and Hot Chip. All the pictures can be find on Getty website.

The Guardian online also used two of my pictures of Lianne La Havas and Richard Hawley to illustrate their Mercury Prize nominations.

I am going away on tour with a band very soon but I have got a couple of beautiful gigs scheduled before I set off. I will post a few pictures at the end of next week.

KISS !!!

This week, I was lucky enough to shoot Kiss twice !! I attended their press conference where they were talking about their new photography book. Unfortunately they didn't wear their trademark make-up but I got to shoot their show at the Forum too. It was completely amazing. I only knew a couple of songs but they totally ROCKED IT and I really hope to see them again. I couldn't believe how good they were ! It was great to shoot a band with so much energy, posing for the camera and with amazing lights ! Everything was perfect, despite the 29 other photographers next to me :) I also shot "The tallest Man on Earth" in Hackney for The Line of Best Fit and The Psychedelic Furs at The Garage.
