Classical Concerts & Landscapes

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.
