LIVE MUSIC PHOTOGRAPHY

About Me

Hi, I am Jesse, a professional photographer based on the south coast of the UK. I have been photographing live music for over 10 years. Being passionate about both music and photography, this was a natural thing for me to want to do, but I actually love the two together even more!

I don't really have a favourite genre, though I do tend to lean towards rock and metal. That said, I equally love accoustic sets, hip hop, and a wide range of other types of music - there is no music snobbery here!

Finally, I am very supportive of other photographers - I do this because I love it - and so will happilly promote other creatives.

Venues

I have photographed at a wide range of venues, from small venues to stadiums and festivals. These include, but are not limited to:

Joiners, Southampton

O2 Guildhall Southampton

Engine Rooms

Wedgewood Rooms

I am also the head of the photography team for Southampton's Joiners. If you are looking to volunteer, either as an experienced photographer, or as someone who wants to gain experience, then please contact me to get involved!

I have been featured in the press on a number of occasions, as well as writing articles in blogs. These include:
