macrobetix

Macrobetix is a Morecambe based independent artist whose work spans both electronic music and photography. On the music side, the project centres around self-produced, experimental electronic compositions blending guitar, MIDI instrumentation, and vocals to create atmospheric, slightly unconventional pieces. Visually, macrobetix presents a photographic portfolio grounded in social realism, capturing ordinary moments with a balance of grit, charm, and subtle humour across collections like ‘Up Our Way’. The work ranges from documentary style local storytelling and candid street observation to more personal and reflective imagery emerging as a cohesive project exploring the nuance, character, and emotional undercurrent of everyday experiences through a distinct, quietly expressive lens.

Born 1981 Lancaster (U.K) now currently lives in Morecambe (U.K), he graduated with a 2/1 BA(Hons) in Photography from the University Of Central England 2006. His work was recognized by Rhubarb-Rhubarb and the Creative Alliance where it was then exhibited across the West-Midlands.

Going on to photograph some of Birmingham’s most prolific music artists such as Soweto Kinch and becoming Eatgood Records Creative Director Of Photography. Since then he has worked for a range of musicians, events, weddings and artists creating portraits, Design, Illustration & Music bringing his own individual flare to each project.
