In this gallery I have placed my favourite images from The Aberdeen Jazz Festival. I was the resident house photographer working on behalf of JazzScotland to cover the event from 2012 until 2019 and witnessed it rise from a weekend event to a 10 day extravaganza. My brief was to capture the ambience, atmosphere and the diversity of the audience enjoyment of the gigs, not just the bands performances themselves. Nearly all of the images in this gallery are a record the musicians doing what they do best...performing. The sharp-eyed will maybe notice the development of some of the youth band members over the years as they progress to their own bands and take centre stage.
