At a time when memories come and go faster than a Facebook status update, we’re taking a moment to indulge and reflect on our year in photography. Thanks to a bigger team and global reach, we’ve commissioned more original photography in the past 12 months than ever before – from interview shoots to live coverage or regular series such as Producers and their Pets.
Below is a gallery of some of our favourite FACT photography from 2015, from up-and-comers at pirate radio to live shows from big hitters like Hudson Mohawke and Skepta. Special shout out to Bear.
