Hi I’m Niamh! I’m a photographer specialising in live music and I have been behind the camera taking photos at gigs for as long as I can remember. I’ve had the pleasure of working for incredible publications like Kerrang!, Metal Hammer and now Roc Documented along with touring and working with incredible promoters such as Live Nation and Ticketmaster. Festivals are such a happy place of mine, shooting at Download, Rock Im Park and on the media team for Slam Dunk. I have also been a photographer for Magic Mike Live in London! I love capturing those special moments that show the joy of live music. I’m also a massive nerd, I love all things Star Wars, Marvel, Disney & have loved the alternative and rock music scene since I was a teenager.

I’m Kara and I’ve been invested in the world of music since I was 14 when I discovered bands like Fall Out Boy and Twenty One Pilots. I’ve always loved making art, and because of my love for music, I ended up finding my passion for concert photography. After years of taking pictures on my phone at every concert I went to, I finally started doing concert photography professionally in 2024.

Sharon has been shooting music since the 80s. She started with local bands and worked her way up to becoming the house photographer for Hershey for many years. She also spent several years photographing the in-park entertainment at Hersheypark. At one point, she even had the opportunity to spend a few days on the road with Poison. Her photos were featured in their tour book as well as in the Flesh and Blood liner notes. Sharon has also been a photographer for Stars on Ice for the last six years, with her work appearing in their tour books, merchandise, and billboard campaigns. Sharon also has a passion for wildlife photography. The concept behind both concerts and wildlife is surprisingly similar — you need to know your subject, understand their habits, and be ready to anticipate the action. When she isn’t behind the camera, Sharon works as an IT Project Manager in the Harrisburg area.

Working with local radio stations in the area she also believes in building strong relationships with artists and venues. She understands the importance of capturing not just the performance, but also the story behind it. Currently available for gigs in the Northeast/Central Pennsylvania area and beyond.

As a lover of both music and photography, it's great to be able to mix the two of them together. I love the excitement and the in the moment of concert photography. I'm also a portrait photographer and have been doing photography professionally since the beginning of 2020. Equipment I use are the Canon R6 and R6 Mark II along with a 24-70mm and a 70-200mm both f2.8 as my main lenses. I also have long lenses for soundboard shoots along with various fixed focal length lenses. I cover Wisconsin shows with Milwaukee, Madison and Green Bay as my main focus. I am available for hire in Wisconsin for any bands in need of a photographer, concerts or promotional photos.

Kerry is a live performance photographer and hails from West Lothian, Scotland - sandwiched between Edinburgh and Glasgow, and which just happens to be (in her totally unbiased opinion) the musical hub of the country. Music has been such a huge part of her life, so much so that she named her photography business Red Ledger because of the massive debt she owes to the artists who create the songs that fill our souls, and the hope that she can pay it back through her dynamic images of them on stage. She was also awarded The British Institute of Professional Photographers Reportage and Photojournalism Photographer of The Year for her live performance work in 2025 and can't wait to see what incredible shows she'll capture this year.

Jennifer is a Pennsylvania-based concert photographer whose lens finds the emotion, grit, and energy at the heart of every live performance. From packed festivals to intimate venues, she’s passionate about freezing the moments that make music unforgettable — whether it’s a guitarist mid-leap, a crowd lost in a chorus, or the quiet intensity between songs. With a sharp eye for detail and a deep love for the alternative, emo, punk, and metal scenes, Jennifer’s work blends raw emotion with vivid storytelling. Her journey into photography is as personal as it is artistic — she found healing and purpose through the music and the community that surrounds it. For Jennifer, every photo is a chance to connect, to tell a story, and to remind people that music saves—and so do the memories we make through it

Travis Smith is a Seattle-born photographer who first picked up a camera in 2005 and has been finding excuses to keep picking one up ever since.

A lifelong jack of all trades, with an unreasonable desire to eventually become great at all of them. Travis has spent the years behind the camera exploring just about anything that seemed interesting. His photography and videography have taken him everywhere from the sidelines of professional sports to the chaos of concert photography, always chasing the next subject, the next challenge, and, ideally, the next great shot.

These days, Travis sticks to photography, which brings us to the obvious question: why is his Instagram handle @trav.is.video?
Honestly, it made sense at the time.
Despite the evidence provided by his username, Travis does not really do video anymore. The handle remains, partly out of nostalgia and partly because changing it now would require admitting that 2005 Travis made a branding decision that 2026 Travis has chosen to live with.

For Travis, photography is less about reaching some imaginary finish line and more about constantly trying to get better. There’s always something new to learn, another technique to try, or a photograph that could have been just a little better. The pursuit never really ends, and that’s probably what keeps it interesting.

The jack of all trades thing isn’t going anywhere. He’s still working on the “master of them all” part.

See you in the pit!
