I'm Jude Tolson, a freelance photographer with extensive experience in press, event, and behind-the-scenes photography. I’m proficient with DSLR/mirrorless rigs, iPhone, GoPro, and a range of editing tools, and I’m ready to collaborate with talent, crews, and clients to bring ideas to life. I excel at capturing authentic, high-quality imagery in fast-paced environments, from live concerts and public & community events to promotional shoots. I work well independently or as part of a team, adapting quickly to changing schedules and on-set needs, and I’m comfortable coordinating logistics, lighting, and consent on location. Beyond photography, I enjoy project coordination and social media engagement—developing fan campaigns, managing content campaigns, and delivering compelling visuals that support brands and communities.
