About Isaac Stubbings
Isaac Stubbings @ilnsimages
Role: Photographer & Reviewer

Hey! I'm a photographer who uses music as a core influence in all my photography. I love looking towards colour and lighting to try and emulate a narrative that enhances my work.

Qualifications: I study Photography at the University of the West of England, Bristol.

Available for: Gig Shoots, Photo Shoots, Album and Single cover shoots and Touring

First attended gig: The first gig I went to was to see the band Beach House in Brighton when I was about 14. It was in a big church and I remember the dreamy vocals and synths sounded amazing with the acoustics of the place. After that, I was hooked on the experience of going to see live music.

First gig shot: In college I shot a couple of my friends’ bands in tiny venues, but I think the first proper gig I shot was Newdad at Thekla. Wanting to get back into music photography, I reached out – not really expecting to hear back – and it meant a lot to me when I was put on the list to shoot one of my favourite bands. It was such an enjoyable and rewarding experience for me, so after that I was set on pursuing it further.

Dream gig: Big question. There are so many I could think of, but it would have to be The Cure in a small intimate venue.
