Read MoreSo here we are in August of 2022, another wonderful year in music and events. Its been great to get back to it properly this year with the words ‘COVID’ moving swiftly behind us. This year ive spent some good time in and out of events around the country and world.
Read MoreSo after a fairly busy summer last year I managed to attend a few new festivals as well as capture some of my best content I think i’ve probably ever shot. I Took this year to cover Reading Festival instead of Creamfields, and went to BoomTown in Winchester which surprisingly id never been to or photographed. I was only there for the day and it rained ALOT but did manage to grab some good content. Anyway I thought it would be a good idea to summarise the end of the year with my TOP10 of 2019. I think if I had done the decade id have been choosing images all day long!
Read MoreIts here!!
Another year has passed and its time for the Island Festivities. I can't believe its come round again and this year I'm snapping for Wightlink. The great guys and girls over at Wightlink provide such a valuable service getting people too and from the festival during this busy summer period.
Friday was a late start for me but had a lovely time wandering around site and snapping all the fresh faced people entering the site. Check out my Thursday highlights :)

Its fast approaching and set to be a very busy summer, one of my favourites to kick off the season with the beautiful Isle of Wight Festival. This years headliners should be incredible! I literally cannot wait to see those hands in the air when Queen come on, and that moment Faithless drops Insomnia I know will send shivers through me. I will have lots of my backstage and general progress over the festival period on my Snapchat and Instagram (iJamBri) & (MusicFestivalPhotography)
Feel free to add and follow me!
All the love

Another amazing month nearly over! I can't believe how fast this year is going by. This month has led me to some of my regular place but with some new faces. Along with meeting new clients and forging new commercial alliances. A lot of plans have been made this month and I'm looking forward to showing off some of the events when they come around.
Heres some of the work I've completed this month,
Happy Viewing
