Gig performance official photographer photos

On more than one occasion I’ve thought I’d like to purchase photos from gigs that I’ve attended. Yet I’ve never really found an option. A phone can take a decent photo, but nothing good enough under such lighting conditions that I’d want to have it framed.

The professional service like Getty, alamy, and Shutterstock don’t really provide such services. I know I could go down the questionable route or red bubble and Etsy. But frequently the photos I see on there are just stolen from other places. If I’m buying a photo of a moment I at very least want to be supporting the original photographer.

Does such a platform even exist?

There’s one in Sweden

https://www.rockfoto.nu/

It’s an agency of sorts whose main focus is selling directly to publications (or increasingly, the promoters themselves) but they do (or did) sell prints directly (go search their ‘galleri’ and email them)

Don’t know of anything similar in the UK
