What we do
Concert & event photography
Headline sets, support slots, festivals, club nights and sold-out arenas - shot from the pit, not the soundboard. Selects can land the same night for a press or social deadline; a full edited gallery is typically ready within 48 hours. Accreditation is arranged per show with your publicist or promoter.
Rates, venues and turnaround →
The new artist print program
Every artist photographed can earn a royalty on every print sold of their own show. The photos were made at your gig; the return on them shouldn't be one-way. Prints are a single size at $269 USD, signed and hand-numbered, and editions close for good.
Event promotion & calendar listings
A Vancouver concert calendar built from the promoters' and box offices' own feeds, with a page per show carrying the date, venue, set time, lineup and a link straight to the seller. Featured shows get the slider at the top of the calendar. Send us an announce and it gets listed.
News & editorial coverage
Tour announcements, on-sales and reviews written from the venue and illustrated from the pit. Every review runs with the photographs from that night, so an artist gets words and pictures in one place rather than a rating and a stock shot.
Photo licensing
A 16-year archive of Vancouver live music, night by night. Rights are agreed per shoot with the artist, label or management, so what can be licensed varies across the archive - tell us the artist, the date and the use and we'll confirm what's available.
