Throwback to Swing Sanctuary 2017 and working with this incredible band, @nattycongeroo @flames_of_rhythm. Bloody love to work with people who are just incredibly extra and overflow with personality — it's so fun to translate into image 🙌🏻 . . . . . . #jazz #jazzband #retro #retrostyle #vintagestyle #ootd #cabcalloway #oldschool #oldschoolmic #friends #perform #jam #jamcircle #perform #performer

Ploughing through a mountain of editing from this weekend — please all send me netflix recommendations that I can have in the background while light room exports for the next 100 years. Post dance events I always feel like I need a nap, workout, and a lemsip. Am I the only one who goes through this crisis after those 3 days? And any help on how to keep some semblance of healthy lifestyle while working events is always appreciated 😂🙌🏻

It's not all about the dancing — sometimes it's about the gin

Headed back to Yorkshire this weekend to take some photos at Airedale Swing Festival 🙌🏻 Throwback to swing rev a couple of months ago which was also in my home county. Although an accurate representation of my headspace at the moment was when I asked my mum yesterday: "have I photographed swing rev already this year?" 🤦🏻‍♀️😂

Another favourite from @manchesterjazzfestival of the @mscbigband. I'll be back on it with blogs this week to catch up on all I've been up to 👌🏻💕 . . . . #jazz #bigband #jazz #brass #brasssection #light #contrast #uni #students #studentmusicians #silhouette #mic #manchester #manchesterjazz

After a little break to do other things that push me creatively, I'll be back photographing dancers next week! Here's a shot from @manchesterjazzfestival of the awesome @_youngpilgrims. This band were definitely my favourite from the whole of the festival — loadsa energy and a really good vibe. Just a bunch of people who have fun making music. 🎺🎷🥁 . . . . . . #jazz #livejazz #manchester #trombone #foot #symmetry #music #livemusic #jazzfestival #livemusic #reflection #rain #ilovemanchster
