Who I work with
Professional performance and artist coverage for artists, bands, musicians, promoters, venues, festivals, labels and management throughout Vancouver and British Columbia.
The photographs are made to be used: press and promotion, social media, artist websites, tour marketing and venue marketing.
Live work is about timing and low light. I shoot fast, quietly, and without blocking anyone's view of the stage.

Frequently asked
How much does concert photography cost in Vancouver?
From $450 for a single performance up to $1,800 for a full festival day. Rates depend on coverage length and the number of performers.
Can the venue and the artist both use the images?
The promotional licence covers whoever commissions the shoot. If the artist, venue and promoter all need usage rights, that's arranged before the booking.
Do you need a photo pass?
Yes, for ticketed venue shows. If you're the promoter or the artist, you can usually arrange it. I'm familiar with standard three-song and no-flash restrictions.
