From The Beginning
Life behind the lens started in 2012 when we returned from traveling and I didn’t know what with the camera we bought for the trip. After a short think, I made a list of my interests, (which wasn’t very long) and right at the top of that list was music. With this in mind I set to and looked in to how photography & music could be integrated.
Making “something” Happen!
After some research, I made contact with a few industry people, using my 15 years recruitment experience, I was able to speak with Paul Weller’s Manager who granted me a photo-pass to photograph his headline show at Manchester Arena.
After several months of repeating this method, making more contacts, my portfolio grew and industry knowledge was gained.
Flick of the Finger
In 2015 The Stone Roses announced 4 shows at Manchester Etihad Stadium and I made it my mission to obtain a photo pass.
I started an online Magazine, which is where I started publishing all my previous images of bands, built a team of photographers and writers to photograph and review as many live shows as possible and in a short time we had over 30 photographers, interviewers and writers covering the UK, Denmark, Spain and the U.S.
Make “it” Happen!
Make It Happen became our mantra and in 2016 I photographed my dream band. It was also at this show where I met some incredible people that led Flick of the Finger becoming involved with Band Management, our own record label, music publishing, live event promotion and much more.
The Future Gets Written!
With the dreaded covid sweeping the globe, it became impossible for Flick of The Finger to maintain momentum; our bands couldn’t perform live, we couldn’t photograph anyone and like many other entertainment industry companies, we had to move focus to solely concentrate on providing photography services across the UK.
Content Creation!
With everything we learnt from managing bands, such as their social media , content creation and marketing campaigns we had everything in our arsenal to help others once covid restrictions were lifted.
We Started working not just with other bands but local companies, putting marketing strategies in place, creating content for socials and websites as well as other digital services.
We now have a healthy list of clients across the UK and we love what we do. If you require any help with digital services, please feel free to drop us a line for a no obligation consultation - we’re always happy to help.

I like to dig deep in to what clients are looking to achieve from a photoshoot and use this information to produce images we’re both happy and proud of.
However on occasion some clients are unsure what they are looking for but just know that they need images. Not a problem at all. With a wealth of experience, I can help you come up with a plan for your campaign, and produce something special.
