Reportage and documentary event photography

This was my first international event of this season. Back to St Petersburg for the music event Godskitchen Fusion. It was allot of fun to photograph, great atmosphere and everyone was having a good time.

Through the photographic techniques of reportage and documentary photography I was able to capture the true essence of the event, documenting the production, atmosphere and natural reactions as they happen.

The brief required a creative approach and to provide a variety of angles and digital post production so the images look their absolute best.

Here is a small selection of event photos from the shoot featuring the artists Afrojack and Markus Schulz:

I was invited over to Beirut by Above and Beyond HQ to photograph their live webcast event TATW400. Millions of people tuned into the 8 hour show from all over the world.

During the show I was photographing the artists and crowd reactions, editing a selection of images then they were uploaded via social media for everyone to see. It was a great experience.

Here are just a few of my favourite event photos from the show:

I was invited back to Kiev to photograph the Godskitchen music event Fusion. It is their new production in the shape of a cube. It’s always exciting to photograph at different locations and new things, as well as providing new challenges both technical and creative.

The event provided lots of opportunities to capture natural and really epic moments, of both the people enjoying the event and the new production.

Here are just a few of my favourite event photos from the shoot:

 Music event photography on location in Kharkov, Ukraine – Godskitchen Neon @ Radmir Expo Hall

I really enjoyed photographing this event. The venue was great, with a balcony allowing more locations to shoot from. There was an awesome atmosphere with everyone including the artists really enjoying themselves. The main artists included Richard Durand and Sander Van Doorn.

The brief was to capture natural moments creatively throughout the event, the production, branding, atmosphere and artists. Full post production including creative effects and image enhancements was also completed,  so that the images look their absolute best and to provide a variety of images.

I was invited back as the official event photographer for Slammin Vinyl. The brief was to capture the production, atmosphere, crowd reactions and various artists. The event is always fun to shoot, lots going on and a great atmosphere.

This event has always required allot of running around as there are multiple rooms with different stages and music. This brings its own challenges as due to the temperature and humidity changes from indoors to outdoors and back, the lenses suffer from misting up allot. A good lens cloth is required to keep them in good working order!

All the images below have been taken using the ambient light available, maintaining the atmosphere, no harsh camera flash was necessary. Full post production has been completed on every image, both creative and image enhancements, so they look their absolute best. Here are just a few of the event photos from the shoot:

Event photography in Almaty, Kazakhstan – Godskitchen music event.

The commission was to photograph the music event to provide documentary and reportage coverage throughout the event, capturing natural reactions, crowd, atmosphere, production and artists. The venue was a ballroom, quite unusual for a dance music event, but made for a unique intimate atmosphere.

This was my first time to Kazakhstan and I wasn’t too sure what to expect. My only reference was the movie Borat! To my pleasant surprise Almaty is very different to the movie, quite an affluent area with beautiful countryside and snow capped mountains.

Here are a few of the event photos:

Event photography by London event photographer

I was commissioned as an event photographer to photograph a music event in South Africa. Godskitchen hosted the main stage at the H20 Party in Johannesburg. The brief was to capture the atmosphere, the event from various perspectives, close ups of people enjoying the event and the main stage production.

The South African people were very enthusiastic bunch, managed to get some great natural shots of people enjoying the music. It was quite a unique venue for a large music event as it was part waterpark. After travelling half way around the world however, prepared with only shorts and T-shirts, ironically it started to rain at night then thunder storm. When I left the UK everyone was enjoying the 28c+ temperatures, hottest on record for October! I was blamed for bringing the ‘English weather’ with me a few times!

Didn’t stop everyone enjoying themselves. The rain also made for some interesting photos with the lasers.

Here are just a few of the event photos from both the day and night:

I really enjoyed photographing the event, it was allot of fun with many of the people into the spirit of the festival dressing up in alsorts of costumes! Cool people and great atmosphere.

Festival photography from Global Gathering music festival by UK Festival Photographer

I was invited back as an official photographer for the Global Gathering music festival this year. It’s always allot of fun to photograph with so much going on, great atmosphere and fun people to photograph.

The brief was to capture the key elements of the event, artists, production, atmosphere and anything that catches my eye. During the event I provide an on site editing service for immediate upload to the official website and for press use. Through various digital post production techniques, the images are enhanced and given a creative finish.

Throughout the 2 day festival I opted to use no camera flash, maximising on capturing the true atmosphere of the event and all its colour.

I took so many photos over the 2 days, here are  just a few of my favourite event photos from the music festival:
