Candid Event & Gig Photography for Your Special Night
Forget stiff stage poses. I capture the raw energy of open mics, comedy nights, and intimate gatherings, keeping it honest, cinematic, and full of life.

About Intimate Events & Gigs
I don't just stand in the corner with a massive lens. I use fast prime lenses and subtle on-camera flash to weave through the crowd, capturing real reactions and raw performance energy without disrupting the flow of your event.
My approach to event photography is simple: 90 percent candid and 10 percent whatever you need posed. Whether it is a stand-up comedy night, an open mic, or a musical jam session, I focus on the connection between the performer and the audience. I am not there to stage manage; I am there to document the vibe.
Lighting is usually the biggest headache at intimate venues. I rely on my Nikon Z setup with on-camera flash to handle low-light conditions, ensuring that your photos do not look grainy or washed out. I treat every gig as a story, delivering a mix of black and white edits alongside color shots to really bring out the mood of the evening.
I work fast. You will get highlights within 24 hours so your performers can share them immediately, with the full gallery coming in 4 days. If you are hosting at spots like House of Stories or similar local venues, I know the drill. Let us make your event look as electric as it actually felt.
