📸Important Booking Policy Update

I absolutely love what I do and I’m so grateful for every single client who trusts me to work with them. It means a lot.

However, after losing over £2,000 this week alone due to last-minute cancellations of pencilled dates and lack of communication, I need to make a change to protect my time and business.

From August 18th, all new bookings and inquiries will require:
* A 25% non-refundable deposit
* A signed agreement

This policy will help ensure I can give each project the dedication it deserves, while keeping my schedule fair for everyone, and my ability to forecast my income.

📌Current bookings are NOT affected. If you’ve already booked me in, nothing changes for you.

Thank you so much for understanding and for continuing to support my work. Your trust means the world to me.

Sam.

Normandie - Piece Hall, Halifax - 14.06.25

I must confess, I have never heard or seen NORMANDIE before (big mistake on my part), but was very happy with what I heard on Saturday at The Piece Hall when they supported Pendulum.

It’s rare I see bands that I haven’t heard before, but I’m looking forward to digging into the discography!

Pendulum - Piece Hall, Halifax - 14.06.25

Great to be shooting the Pendulum lads again! Being my favourite band, I’m slightly biased when I say this, but their live shows are genuinely one of the best you can witness. It was great to hear the new tracks from their upcoming album, Inertia, which will be their first in 15 years (How has it been that long!)

This time, I got to shoot at a new venue for me, and a great venue at that, will definitely try to catch more shows at Piece Hall Halifax in future!

Also great to (briefly) meet , who’s been killing it with the band over the last year!🤘

🥳A massive congratulations to Katie & Gareth who tied the knot last weekend at the iconic Wollaton Hall (fans of The Dark Knight Rises will know this better as Wayne Manor in the movie!)

Such a chilled and lovely day, with the couple being surrounded by family and friends, and their cars!

Great to be back shooting alongside Jacob White Films, shooting Photo and Video for the first of a few weddings this year with him📸

SNOW PATROL - Connexin Live - 19.02.25

On Wednesday, I had the pleasure of shooting iconic Northern Irish-Scottish rock band Snow Patrol at Hull’s Connexin Live, Hull

I remember hearing many of their tracks back in the day growing up, and was pleasantly surprised at how many I did recognise on the night. Their stage show really impressed me, too, changing throughout the night.

Pleasure as always to share a pit with AMB-Gy Photography too!

Looking forward to being back over on the North Bank for The Darkness in March🙌

In 2024, I started to test the waters with freelance work working with new clients, as well as returning, alongside shooting some incredible artists, and I’m pleased to say my books are open for 2025.🙌

Over the last couple years I’ve produced some work I’m very proud of (some of which can be found here)

Live shows, portraits, tours, BTS, video and anything else.I’d love to work with you.

📲Drop me a message here or email me at [email protected] and let’s discuss how we can get your next project off the ground!

Almost 10 months after shooting Pendulum's show in London, and they are still able to use content from then to promote their upcoming shows. A great example of how investing in content gathering can give you assets that you can use 💪

Looking for a Music Photographer? Get in touch, i'd love to hear from you!
