SXM Festival 2026 feels like one of those rare trips where everything just lines up. The setting is unreal, but what stays with you is the people. Everyone shows up with the same mindset, open, friendly, and just happy to be there. It makes it easy to connect, whether you are deep in the crowd or off to the side taking it all in. That shared energy is what really defines SXM Festival and keeps people coming back.

A few moments really stood out. Elderbrook at the Panorama Party was something special, the kind of set where the whole space feels in sync and you lose track of time. Then Carl Cox took it through to sunrise, which felt like a proper full circle moment with the light coming up over the island. Massive credit to the team behind it all, especially Julian Prince and Krystel Arbia for making it happen the way it did.

Download Festival is always a highlight for me each year it comes around. It’s filled with all my favourite bands, people and an overall great atmosphere. I work with a fantastic group of individuals, each pursuing amazing creative avenues — many of whom dominate their fields in press photography, events, music and large campaigns. We all work together under my good friend and colleague Danny North (Fanatic Creative), creating a consistent, unified body of work for one of the biggest and most well-regarded rock and metal festivals in the world.

This is always one of my favourite times of year, every march SXM Festival Rolls Round. Im lucky enough to fly out to one of the most beautiful locations in the world. St marten, in the Caribbean. Surrounded by old faces from previous years as well as new talent from the photography circuit we combine our forces and shoot some of the wildest imagery possible. This place feels like home now after the 6 years of being part of the team as well as driving around the island. 2025 was a particularly great year, heres some of the visual highlights. I absolutely loved using my 50mm with the 1/4 Pro Mist to give a dreamy feel. So check out these and let me know what you think!
