Welcome to the website of Simon Lawrence, Bristol based amateur music photographer

Over the last 2 years I have spent many, many nights sweating it out in the press pit, photographing music events in and around Bristol. Risking my eardrums to capture the best shots I can of the huge range of talent the music scene has to offer.

My functional approach to photography, aiming to capture what's going on as accuratly and excitingly as possible, has led to me becoming popular with acts and venues across a broad spectrum of genres. From heavy metal bands in peak-volume venues, to community choirs in grand old music halls.

It has also led to me getting my work posted on websites such as Live Music Scene, ITV-Local and This is Bristol. I'm really keen to continue carrying out, and promoting my work, wherever its welcome, in the hope of achieving even wider appreciation.
