LIVE MUSIC PHOTOGRAPHY
When image is everything get the right images!
There is nothing better as a band than having awesome photographs of you looking like a superstar! Having been the lead guitarist in a rock band, with a wide range of tastes, I know the importance of not only having something to cherish, but also to really show yourself off. Dedicated to providing high quality images, I also make every effort to blog, tweet, Instagram and Facebook every band to help boost your profile. ​ As an official photographer for the Joiners Live in Southampton, I get to shoot a wide range of bands and acts across a wide range of genres. My experience also extends to small band gigs and festival gigs. ​

About Me
Hi, I am Jesse, a professional photographer based on the south coast of the UK, on the edge of Southampton. I have been photographing live music for over 6 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
The 1865
Portsmouth Guildhall
O2 Academy Bournemouth
Common People
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!
Press & Reviews
I have been featured in the press on a number of occasions, as well as writing articles in blogs. These include:
Strong Island
Strong Island is Portsmouth & Southsea's no.1 website for arts, culture & lifestyle. Because of their influence on the south coast, they open a lot of doors to the music scene.
​
I am a regular photographer and reviewer of shows for them.
Daily Echo
The Daily Echo is the main newspaper for Southampton and the surrounding area. I have been featured on a number of occasions.
