Hi, I'm Juan. I photograph live music.

I'm a music industry photographer based in Bilbao, Spain, working under the name Nolandlive. I work with musicians, managers and production teams to document festivals, tours, live shows and the moments that happen backstage.

I'm a graduate in production for the graphic arts industry, which gives my creative work a technical foundation. This journal is where I share what I actually do in the photo pit, with the real settings behind every shot.

Where I've worked

  • BBK Live (Bilbao, 2024) and BBK Ría (Bilbao, 2025)
  • BIME (Bilbao, 2023, 2024 and 2025)
  • Afterlife (Barcelona, 2023 and 2024)
  • Iberdrola Music Festival (Bilbao, 2026)
  • Sonorama Ribera (Aranda de Duero), Boombastic (Gijón, 2024), Maleducats (Barcelona, 2025) and Aiara Fest (Amurrio, 2025)

You can see those galleries in my portfolio (in Spanish).
