I consider myself a wordy person. But I am low on them right now (Rob and Sarah will chuckle).

What I've got is this - I work for a music festival whose lineup up include some of my favourite bands ever. I guess it's no surprise then that I come away with some of my favourite photos of the year x - more to come though

Julie Christmas and Cult of Luna close ArcTanGent 2026 with the full play of Mariner.

I'm still on site packing up and saying goodbye to members of the most incredible team who I've been working with and growing ever closer to for 12 years of unforgettable performances by artists i adore.
*
The memories of your shared expressions of love and adoration for last nights closer will fuel me for days. Being amongst your energy is utterly addictive.

Igorrr ArcTanGent performance was truly incredible. And that's a fact.

I've photographed every single ArcTanGent since its debut in 2013. I still remember the conversations I had with about coming onboard to document this exciting new chapter in British music festivals.
*
It's been fascinating (and emotional, and tricky ) digging through my archives to select the 20 images that might go some way in telling the story of the 13 years at Upcote farm. The fascination, dedication, delivery, blood, sweat, tears and loss collectively experienced and shared between crew, artists and attendees.
*
My career in photography was shaped by these fields and I can see how much ATG has helped me grow and develop as a creative.
She will always be one of my best friends and although I will be sad that we are coming together to listen to and celebrate this incredible genre of music for one last time in Bristol, I'm also excited for the next chapter in Morton on Marsh. Big big love to all who commit to continuing the journey .
See you all tomorrow x

Lakefest Official - thankyou for commissioning me to come and capture all the sites, sounds, smells and smiles from this obviously very much loved festival.
*
It was a pleasure getting to know the in house team as I worked alongside everyone and I was made to feel very welcome in my role as photography lead. I also enjoyed meeting some of the artists I grew up listening to on tape :)
*
I have more imagery to share, but for now - here are some highlights x
