Steve Foster has been our photographer-in-residence since June 2023. He describes himself as “just a photographer who likes to capture anything I come across. Primarily musicians in and around Oxfordshire and various other places in England.” But you will also see on his website some other images, portraits, landscapes and various other photos.

Most earlier photos in the Gallery – since March 2015 – are the work of  Zoë White. Specialising in performance photography, Zoë has photographed jazz musicians in venues such as Bulls Head, Crazy Coqs, The Hideaway, Jagz, The Pheasantry, The 606, Ronnie Scott’s and Ronnie’s Upstairs. She was event photographer for Brecon Jazz London Day 2021, TW12 Jazz Festivals 2014 – 2017 and Jazz for Kamuli in 2016.

Note: All Gallery photos are copyright unless otherwise stated and may not be used in any way without the photographer’s express permission. To enquire about licensing any of the photos, please contact Steve on sjfmailbox@gmail.com or Zoë on zoe@jazzinreading.com

Photos by guest photographers Colin Swain and Lee Alexander taken since 2016 also feature here. There is a selection of images by other photographers of some of the other great jazz gigs  prior to March 2015 at both Progress Theatre and Reading Town Hall.
