26TH MAY – 2ND JUNE

Week 35 was a huge one for me—Don Toliver at the O2 Arena in London. This felt like one of those full-circle moments. A year ago, I was just getting comfortable with a camera. Now I was standing in one of the biggest venues in the UK, shooting an artist I genuinely listen to.

I came in feeling way more confident. I knew how to move in the space, how to read the lighting, when to shoot, and when to just wait and catch the moment. Being in the photo pit at a venue like the O2, you don’t get much time—three songs max—so I had to make every second count.

The vibe of the show was unreal, and it pushed me to shoot on a different level. I was calm, focused, and I trusted my instincts the whole way through. I didn’t need anyone to guide me. I knew what I was doing, and I think the content reflected that.

Looking back, this show reminded me how far I’ve come—not just in skill, but in mindset. A year ago, I wouldn’t have even imagined being in that space, but now it feels like just the beginning.
