About Live Music & Concert Photography
What I Capture
I’m all about getting the real vibe of a live show—the sweat, the lights, and the wild crowd. My thing is catching artists while they’re lost in their zone, so you can almost feel the music jumping out of my photos. I freeze those moments that everyone talks about after the concert.
My Style
- I play with stage lighting photography, using the reds, blues, and spotlights to set the mood.
- Always on the lookout for confetti, smoke, fire—whatever makes the night electric.
- If you want more than random shots, I stitch together frames and carousels to tell a full story, from hype build-up to the encore.
Who’s Been In Front Of My Lens
From international hip-hop legends like Wiz Khalifa and Swae Lee to homegrown acts like Seedhe Maut and Nucleya, I’ve shot them all. I’ve covered big festival concert images and artist performance shots for major events—Rolling Loud India, Zamna Festival, Sunburn Union, Akon’s gig, and Anirudh’s Hukum Tour.
Where I Work
Mostly based in Bangalore and Mumbai, but I’m always packing my gear for a gig anywhere—Namma Bengaluru, Jaipur, wherever the stage is calling. Whether it’s a sweaty club or a huge festival, I’m there to capture the live event storytelling and energy that makes each show unforgettable.

My Story
Hey, I'm Uthman, but folks know me as shotbyhim. Half my life’s in Saudi, half in India, but my camera’s always with me. You’ll catch me in the pit at concerts—Riyadh, Mumbai, Bangalore—chasing that wild crowd energy. Started out just wanting to shoot my favorite artists, freeze those iykyk (if you know, you know) moments. Now, I’m also ringside at MMA fights, catching sweat, chaos, and those knockout seconds. It’s all about the real vibe, not perfect frames.
My Work
Concert & Festival Photography - Moody concert photography, live festival energy capture, and epic crowd shots with all the chaos and color.
Combat Sports / MMA Photography - Dynamic MMA shots and intense boxing photography, all about adrenaline, sweat, and raw emotion.
Artist Portrait Sessions - Portraits for artists that feel real, gritty, and full of personality—no boring, just the real you.
How I Shoot - Raw, creative angles, motion blur, and collages. Always chasing the action, never staged or dull.
Where I Work - Mostly in Riyadh, Bangalore, Mumbai, but I’ll go wherever the action is. If it’s wild, I’m in.
