A photographic ode to Lake Macquarie's music scene

Next date: Wednesday, 05 June 2024 | 10:00 AM to 04:00 PM

Shaquira Hobbs is a visual storyteller and music enthusiast who has dedicated her career to capturing the electrifying energy and raw emotion of live music performances.

With a keen eye for detail and a deep appreciation for the artistry of musicians, Shaquira has established herself as a prominent figure in the world of live music photography.

Shaquira’s work transcends mere documentation, offering viewers an immersive experience that transports them into the heart of each performance. Whether it's the sweat-soaked intensity of a rock concert or the intimate vulnerability of an acoustic set, my photographs vividly capture the essence of the moment, preserving memories that resonate long after the music fades. 

With a portfolio that spans genres and venues, Shaquira’s work has been featured in publications and worldwide, earning acclaim for its evocative storytelling and dynamic composition. Each photograph is a testament to my passion for storytelling and my commitment to preserving the magic of live music for generations to come. In addition to my photography, Shaquira is deeply involved in the music community, collaborating with artists and industry professionals to bring their visions to life through visual storytelling. 

Shaquira’s work not only celebrates the power of music but also serves as a tribute to the artists who inspire and uplift us through their craft.
