The Brief
Working with 4AM KRU, I was tasked to document their performance at Parklife Festival’s Big Top stage on 14 June 2025. The aim was to capture the duo’s dynamic performance, the ecstatic crowd energy, and the atmosphere of one of the festival’s most celebrated underground stages.
The Approach
The Big Top stage filled up with people quickly as 4AM KRU’s stage time got closer. Its vibrant lighting and immersive sound system provided the perfect backdrop for 4AM KRU’s live show. I wanted to capture all of the energy of the performance so I shot from multiple vantage points – wide frames, mid-shots and tight close-ups ensuring each image conveyed the raw energy and communal spirit unique to a jungle set.
The Result
The final gallery delivered to 4AM KRU showcased their set in full throttle—from the opening drum and bass drops to the euphoric finale. These images provided the duo with high-impact assets for press releases, social media teasers, and promotional materials, perfectly encapsulating their Parklife moment and the infectious energy they brought to the Big Top stage.
