Two broad approaches sit behind most gigs: traditional, which prioritises clarity and consistency, and editorial, which goes after mood and story instead, often at the expense of a bit of that uniformity.
Traditional suits situations where the images need to look uniform or straightforwardly professional. Editorial suits situations where personality and atmosphere matter more.
Neither is objectively better. The right choice depends entirely on what the images are for, and that’s worth raising before a gig is booked, not after the style has already been picked for you by default.

Pricing, process and everything else sits on the Live Music page, and a direct message gets a straight answer faster than a search ever will, so get in touch if in doubt.
FAQs
Two common questions, answered.
Can you deliver images the same night?
For time-sensitive releases, yes. A small batch of selects can be edited and sent while the gig is still going, with the full set following after.
Do you cover full sets or just a few songs?
Either. Some bookings only need the pit for the first three songs, others want the full set covered, including crowd shots and the wider room.
