Core Service
Press shoots and gig coverage for artists, bands, venues and festivals. Shot from the pit — stage light, crowd energy, the moment it actually happened. No studio. No posed nonsense.
Good concert photography isn't about perfect conditions — it's about knowing the set, reading the light, and never missing the moment because you were fumbling with settings.
I've shot gig coverage and press photography for touring bands, local acts, and festival lineups across the Western Cape — from small venue slots to full festival day coverage.
Based in Stellenbosch, I work across the Western Cape — Cape Town, Paarl, the Winelands, and wherever the tour takes me. Travel outside the region is available on request.
What's Included
I sort my own accreditation where needed and work the pit, sidestage, or floor — whatever the venue and set allow.
Coverage of the full set or key highlight songs — agreed upfront based on your access and what you need the shots for.
A curated, fully edited selection — not a batch-exported dump. Every frame treated individually for tone and grain.
High-res files for print and press, plus web-optimised versions — delivered via private download link.
Pre-sized crops for Instagram, Stories, and tour announcements. Ready to post the day you get the files.
Full commercial usage rights included — for the artist, venue, or promoter. No licensing back-and-forth.
