Luke was just amazing! The photos he created were stunning and delivered much faster than he originally said. He was on time, courteous, and very polite. We had a great chat and he got on with everyone he met. Luke went above and beyond to get the photos we needed and had asked for. His directions were clear and made everyone he photographed feel very comfortable in front of the camera. We will definitely be using Luke again in the future!Hugh Boyd

My story as a Music Photographer
I started my music photography career in 2018 where I photographed up and coming bands around the city of Nottingham. I was approached by an independent online culture magazine, Slanted Press.
Working with Slanted Press for two years I was given the freedom to experiment and build on my experience as a music photographer. Enjoying my experience in the industry of music photography and receiving great feedback from those working on the magazine and even from the bands and artists themselves. I gained a true passion for photographing gigs, concerts and festivals; this made me certain of my career as a music photographer.
Therefore I built this website to become a Nottingham music photographer and gain a digital presence. Before long I was informed that an assignment editor at Getty Images will be coming to Nottingham Trent University to discuss careers and photography. I felt this was the perfect opportunity to exchange details and get my foot in the door. During this lecture, the assignment editor stated that they were looking for a music photographer in Nottingham… Crazy right! I was extremely excited yet nervous that there was such a perfect opening for me.
After an exchange of details and a few conversations, I signed my contract with Getty Images and was one step closer to my dream job. Then… Covid-19 hit and all gigs, concerts and festivals were either cancelled or postpones before I could even photograph my first event for Getty Images.
Fast forward to today and I was fortunate enough to continue my practice as a music photographer and after one year of photographing music, I become Nottingham’s Young Creative Award Winner in 2022.
Fast forward to today, I am ever so grateful to be photographing on behalf of Getty Images and even more importantly I get the opportunity to create content for some amazing upcoming bands and artists directly.
If you are part of a band or even an individual artist, then reach out, it would be great to connect with you. You can visit my Music Photography blog to see some of the photoshoots I have been up to or even better you can get in touch and we can jump on a call, grab a coffee or even just have a chat about music.
