i photograph live music in a way that reflects how it felt to be there, not just what it looked like.
i’m gareth, founder of 3rd mile and house photographer at glasgow’s barrowland ballroom. i work with artists, venues and promoters who need consistent, considered coverage of live performance, from the energy of the room to the quieter moments around it.
i cover shows with a focus on performance, atmosphere and interaction, delivering images that hold up beyond the night for press, promotion and long-term archive.
becoming house photographer at the barrowland was a turning point. it’s a room i grew up going to, and now one i document regularly. not just the performances, but the space and the people in it. that perspective shapes how i approach every show.
clients rely on me for a clear eye, a tight edit, and work delivered quickly and consistently.
i work in a way that respects the performance and the space, present but never intrusive, focusing on strong colour, atmosphere and the moments that carry the story of a night.
i’m based in glasgow and work across scotland with artists, promoters and venues.
