Polly Swann
ABOUT ME
I am a freelance live music and event photographer, having graduated from Norwich University of the Arts in 2021 with a degree in photography.
Since graduating, I have photographed a large number of gigs and events. Many gigs have been for my personal portfolio, but I have also been commissioned by online magazines RockPoser dot Com and Soundsphere, and by bands and artists themselves.
Since starting gig photography I have shot gigs all over London in venues including OVO Arena Wembley, Shepherds Bush Empire, Eventim Appolo Hammersmith, O2 Academy Brixton and the O2 Arena London; and smaller venues including The Dublin Castle and Indigo at the O2. I have photographed artists and bands including Billy Bragg, Scouting For Girls, Dr John Cooper Clark, The Damned and The Cure and have also photographed Stonedead music festival.
