This Katy Perry photograph was a glimpsed moment, as she emerged from all that pink.

I used my longest zoom lens here – 200mm to 400mm which is the perfect lens to use at the Pyramid stage at Glastonbury. There was a bit of luck here too – getting the eyeball shapes on the lenses was something I didn’t plan for!

Shaggy onstage at West Holts – he’s lit by the daylight here which can be really helpful whilst shooting daytime sets.

Asleep in the sun, with a tiny shaft of light keeping her face warm. It was a really contrasty scene but works to add some atmosphere to the photograph.

This is Diplo with Major Lazer, doing some stretches just before he went on stage. I didn’t even realise it was him at the time!

I carried my camera around all night while I was out and about. I’ve seen the Stone Circle before and it’s always amazing. For this dawn moment the light was just unbelievable – the combination of the sun, the cloud and the mist was just brilliant.
