Capturing authentic energy from the festival stage to the corporate gala.

Eastside Photography was born out of the basslines and laser lights of Prince Edward Island's growing music community. What started as shooting sets for local artists in Charlottetown has evolved into a full scale passion for capturing authentic energy whether that's the electric atmosphere of a summer festival or the dynamic networking of a corporate gala.

Based in Charlottetown, PEI, I specialize in high energy live events, DJ promos, and professional corporate coverage. My approach is the same whether I'm in a packed club or a charity fundraiser: I don't just take pictures, I capture the true vibe of the room.

Serving All of Prince Edward Island

From Charlottetown to Summerside, Cavendish to Montague, Brackley to Souris, Eastside Photography is proud to serve the entire island. I also travel throughout the Maritimes for festivals, concerts, and corporate events in New Brunswick and Nova Scotia.

The Tool of Choice

When you're shooting in dark clubs and high-energy festival environments, your gear needs to be reliable, fast, and capable of seeing in the dark. That's why I shoot on the Sony Alpha a7 IV paired with my go-to E-mount lenses.

  • Sony Alpha a7 IV: 33MP Full-Frame Sensor with Real-time Eye AF, capable of locking onto subjects and capturing clean images in near-total darkness.
  • G Master 70-350mm Lens: E-mount telephoto reach, perfect for punching in on DJs from across the festival grounds or the back of the club.
  • Sigma 16mm Lens: Ultra-wide E-mount field of view, ideal for capturing massive crowd energy and the full scale of the stage production.
