Music videographer for bands & artists.
Festival sets, live gigs, tours and band documentaries. Shot from inside the band, so the footage feels natural and honest, not staged, and built to win the next booking.
From inside the band.
The best music films don't feel like someone filmed a gig. They feel like you were there with the band: the soundcheck, the nerves backstage, the moment the crowd joins in. I travel with you and work around you, so you can focus on playing.
I plan the story before the show, shoot it myself, then edit, grade and mix the sound. You get reels to post straight away and a longer film for promoters, venues and fans.

Before you book.
Where I work: based in Milton Keynes, with no travel charge for Milton Keynes, Bedford, Northampton, Buckingham, Leighton Buzzard, Luton, Oxford, Bicester and Cambridge. London, the rest of the UK and abroad too, with travel agreed upfront.
How much does it cost to film a gig or festival set?
Music projects start from £1,200. Multi-day festivals and tours are quoted after a short call, and you get clear options with fixed prices within 24 hours.
What do I get from a festival shoot?
Typically on-stage, crowd and backstage coverage, short reels for social, a longer documentary-style film and photography. We plan the mix around what you need it for.
Can you make a band documentary?
Yes. I filmed Charlie Ward and his band across CarFest and Camper Calling, built around his interview, with reels for each festival and a short documentary film.
Will the footage help us get more bookings?
That's the aim. Edits are cut to show promoters and venues what you're like live, alongside reels that build your audience.
Do you travel with bands to festivals and tours?
Yes. I travel with the band so the coverage feels natural, from load-in to the last song.
Where are you based?
I'm based in Milton Keynes and cover gigs and festivals across Milton Keynes, Bedford, Northampton, Buckingham, Leighton Buzzard, Luton, Oxford, Bicester and Cambridge, London and nationwide.
Got a set coming up?
