About
Between the stage and the barrier.
Since 2003, I've documented live moments that would otherwise only exist in the crowd's memory. Over two decades from support slots to headline shows.

Common Questions
Yes. I'm available for club shows, tour dates and festivals across Europe and travel regularly for assignments. The fastest way to reach me with a date, venue and location is the contact form.
Standard turnaround is 3–5 business days for a single show, a little longer for multi-day festival weekends depending on scope. For urgent press deadlines, an express preview of select images within 24 hours is available on request.
Yes, licensing for editorial use, band promo and artwork is part of the offering and agreed per project. Happy to walk through details in an initial conversation via the contact form.
For requests coming through a venue or booking agency, I usually coordinate accreditation directly with them. For requests from bands directly, a photo pass or quick approval from the venue is still typically required. We'll sort that out together in advance.
Standard delivery is JPEG at both web and print resolution; an unedited RAW selection is available on request. The website itself additionally serves gallery images as WebP/AVIF in the browser. That only affects in-browser delivery, not the original files you receive.
