MY FAVOURITE CONCERT PHOTOS OF 2025

Artists, take a bow!

It's no secret that I keep a camera handy during concerts. Whether there is official permission to take photos or not, I quietly get some shots in. Capturing artists engaging in their passion is a particular favourite hobby of mine of mine. Being there at the concert is the real thing, but enjoying the photos can only be the next best thing. Here are some of my favourite concert photos of the past year.
