Stafford Music & Food Festival - 4th July 2025

I have been helping to capture images at Stafford Music and Food Festival over the past 12 months. I have enjoyed every second that I am there. The event is put on with the community and the town in mind. It sees various vendors, stall holders and live entertainment coming together. I enjoy how busy it is, and how atmospheric it becomes as people start to enjoy the entertainment, the drinks and the food.

I am on hand to capture images, to show the natural, candid moments as they unfold. People might see me sneaking around with my camera and wonder at what I am doing, but I find excitement in capturing those raw, real moments. I want to see people smiling and laughing, and interacting with each other. Overall, people are my most favourite thing to photograph, and I never tire of it. Sure, I love animals and nature, and capturing them can be fun, but I get so much more out of photographing people and showing the true essence of who someone is.

As I work at these events, I try to be as unobtrusive as possible, aiming to document the event, not interrupting. But I also enjoy talking to those that I capture images of, I am steadily building up a network of clients and collaborators.

Friday saw the end of the Summer festivals, but we will be back again on Halloween, for their special scary edition.
