A few weeks ago, upstart London trap rapper Macca Wiles performed at Ace hotel’s Miranda bar in Shoreditch London. We chatted with one of the photographers, The Naturalist, about linking up with Macca and what it’s like at one of his shows.

Where are you based and what drew you to go shoot a Macca Wiles show?
I’m located in North West London but I’m everywhere. (Macca) hit me up after seeing my work floating about and invited me down to shoot his show.

How was it? Whats a Macca like?
The show was fuckin turnt bro. Dude had the whole place jumping to his music. It was such a sick turn out – even had girls trying to push past me to get on the stage with him. Macca’s a real genuine guy which is nice change seeing as half of the ‘rappers’ in London are pretty full of themselves lmao. Too uptight to talk to people.

Do you shoot a lot of shows around London?
Yeah man, whenever I can really. Right now i’m just a bit more focused on shooting lifestyle & fashion but shows are always great to shoot – I love the different energies I get to capture at each show I shoot.

As a photographer do you ever feel like your missing out on the moment that other people are enjoying?
That’s a good question and I really don’t. I love shooting events. The second I capture a wavey shot I probably feel just as good as the people there enjoying the night out. Shooting events gasses me up.

It is fun to be on stage.
Yeah i actually love that shit. I’ll be on stage shooting on-beat to the music. Dancing at the same time and shit.

Thanks, looking forward to seeing more of your photos.
Thanks, I may have something coming up real soon.
