About Coda Photos: A European Music Photography Network

Coda Photos is a music photography publication and photographer network covering live events across Amsterdam, Leeds, London, and Berlin. Founded in 2022 by Colin Darbyshire and Annelies, we connect music photographers with events and publish photo stories from concerts, festivals, and club nights across Europe.

What We Do

We operate at the intersection of music photography, media, and community. Our three pillars are: publishing photo stories from live music events, managing a network of 15-30 photographers across Europe, and securing media accreditation for concerts and festivals. Colin shoots as a Getty Images music and film photographer for the Netherlands, bringing professional-level standards to everything we publish.

Our Photographer Network

Our network includes photographers across Amsterdam, Leeds, London, and Berlin. We match photographers with events based on their location, style, and genre preferences. Whether it is a sold-out arena show or an underground electronic night, we have people on the ground ready to capture it. Photographers in our network get access to accredited events, editorial support, and a platform to showcase their work to a growing audience.

Cities We Cover

Amsterdam: From Paradiso and Melkweg to ADE and Dekmantel, we cover the Dutch capital's thriving music scene. Leeds: Home to Brudenell Social Club, Leeds Festival, and one of the UK's strongest independent music communities. London: The live music capital of Europe, from Brixton Academy to East London's underground venues. Berlin: Electronic music, underground culture, and a scene that defines modern European nightlife and live music.
