Classical Concerts & Landscapes

Thrilled to have shared the magic of Handel's glorious Messiah with a packed and appreciative audience at Worcester Cathedral  on Saturday evening! What wonderful memories (and photos) were made! Alongside the music it was also our inaugural fundraiser for the Worcestershire Community Foundation , who will be granting the monies raised to children's and young people's causes across our county. Our grateful thanks to all who came, listened and made music, including our super a

A full Gloucester Cathedral  saw Christmas start off with a bang as Gloucester Choral Society  performed Handel Messiah. Adrian Partington conducted the La Serenissima Orchestra and soloists Bethan Evans, Tom Lilburn, Greg Tassell & Aiden Smith.

A magical night of music at our season-opening concert at Worcester Cathedral  last night. Three choral gems by Duruflé, Haydn & Boulanger, plus the privilege of hearing Elgar's Enigma Variations performed by the superb Meridian Sinfonia symphony orchestra. Heartfelt thanks to our appreciative audience, accomplished WFCS chorus, wonderful soloists Alexis Hutchinson Alto  and Charne Rochford, and to our peerless, beloved conductor Samuel Hudson.

Good to see the Elgar Festival using one of my images from a concert earlier in the year to promote the masterclass for 2026.

Grace is giving a performance in Worcesters Old Palace and has used an image from the photoshoot we did a few months ago. Hop it goes well!?

Grace, an emerging violinist, was searching for images to use in online advertisements and for programs where she is scheduled to perform. The gardens in Shelsley Beauchamp offered an ideal setting, providing crisp images with beautifully blurred backgrounds.

Privileged to take photos of the BBC National Orchestra of Wales last night in Cheltenham Town Hall as the Gala Concert of Cheltenham Festivals. Gergely Madaras conducted pieces from Benjamin Britten, Malcolm Arnold, Edward Elgar and Anna Semple who appeared on stage.

Alexis asked me to capture some headshots for potential agencies in preparation for her future solo career. The gardens in Shelsley Beauchamp provided a great setting on a nice day. If there are any aspiring soloists in need of similar photos, feel free to reach out.

Taking photos of soloists during a concert is a hit and miss affair when you don't know when the soloist is going to perform. Let's take the concert in Gloucester Cathedral last weekend as an example. Dame Sarah Connolly was singing' who I have never photographed previously at the end of the first half but I didn't know when exactly so instead of having my 400mm lens with me I left it behind while getting some wide shots of the choir. So I only had the 70-210mm lens with me.
