2011 Full Recap

2011 was an awesome year. I switched it up a little bit and shot a lot less press/ promo images for bands and did a ton more touring and traveling. I also put a lot of time into the Lens Bracelet® – and got it trademarked woohoo. This blog isn’t meant to be one, giant, brag, more of way to just sum of 2011 in one spot. A polite pat …

2011 Concert/ Live/ Candid/ Lifestyle Portfolio

It’s hard to post my favorite images from last year a whole year after taking them, mostly, because, I want to shoot new stuff that I will like more. If you are a photographer yourself and you are reading this, I am sure you know exactly what I am talking about. If you aren’t a …

Prints now available

Over the past four years I have spent the majority of my time photographing bands while on tour with them as they travel the world. Up until now these hundreds of thousands of images have only been made available to labels, bands, managers and publications. Now, you can have you very own photograph as well. I feel like this is long overdue however I never quite knew how to approach …

Breathe Carolina Alternative Press magazine cover

I photographed Breathe Carolina a few months ago in LA. Our first location was a Danny Worsnop’s place in LA and our second was The Forge in LA. What was supposed to be a 4 hour shoot got cut down to about two hours because of some last minute problems that were beyond out control. Anyway, here is what we pulled away with. The cover shot actually took us a …

One Minute Warped Tour 2011 Portraits

These are some random portraits from Warped Tour last year. I shot them for a project originally, but they ended up just being practice. I also edited them a crap ton just to see how it would look and to learn some new techniques. A bunch of band dudes at the end of a 2 month long tour. I shot half of these by the tour buses and half on …

Soundwave 2012 with A Day To Remember

I recently took a trip to Australia, I visited Cairns and then stayed in Melbourne for a few weeks. While I was in Melbourne I hit up Soundwave Festival. Soundwave is sorta like Australia’s version of The Van’s Warped Tour. I say sorta because it is the same concept- a traveling festival that covers the whole Country. The difference is that Soundwave is only five stops total, and at each stop there …
