UNDEROATH IN NEW ORLEANS | MUSIC PHOTOGRAPHY

I had the opportunity to photograph one of my favorite bands, Underoath! Sometimes you go to a concert and it’s like an out of body experience- I’ve only been to a few shows like that and this was definitely one of them.

IMAGINE DRAGONS IN NEW ORLEANS | MUSIC PHOTOGRAPHY

I had the incredible opportunity to photograph Imagine Dragons last night for Interscope Records! With how big this band has gotten, I knew that this show would be an amazing one to shoot so I am so glad I had the opportunity to. I got some of my favorite shots in a while!

VOODOO MUSIC + ARTS EXPERIENCE 2017

I was fortunate enough this year to be working for Voodoo Fest in New Orleans, instead of just being press. I actually had 2 assignments come together for the weekend, one with shooting for JaM Cellars Wine at their marketing activation on Saturday, and one with the C3 Presents (the company that puts on Voodoo Fest) to shoot marketing content all weekend.

SPEAKEAZY / G-EAZY X STILLHOUSE

Last week I was asked by Swim Social, a social media agency out of Los Angeles, to come out and photograph an event for one of their clients, Stillhouse. Turns out that Stillhouse and G-Eazy were throwing a little private party at Republic in New Orleans to announce their new partnership!

LilWeezyAna Fest, this year boasting acts "Collegrove" (Lil Wayne & 2 Chainz) Yo Gotti, Migos, and special guests Mystikal, PNC, and Chris Brown, had an unbelievable turnout at Champions Square for its second year in New Orleans, LA. After an afternoon of heavy rain, the weather threatened to complicate the fest, but rain held out to see Lil Wayne return to his hometown of NOLA and deliver a high-energy performance.

VANS WARPED TOUR / NEW ORLEANS

Alright alright alright, this blog post has been a long time coming. I have literally been trying to go to Vans Warped Tour since I was like, 15 years old. I'm 23 now!

BULLET FOR MY VALENTINE | ASKING ALEXANDRIA | CANE HILL

It's been a rough past few months with me being super busy and not being able to shoot as many shows, so I'm very happy that the few I have been able to shoot have been really successful! These are some of my favorite live images I've taken (because Asking Alexandria and Bullet For My Valentine had amazing light... also because I got to get some band portraits of Cane Hill before their hometown show in New Orleans

FALL OUT BOY / AWOLNATION / PVRIS / MUSIC PHOTOGRAPHY

I have recently been setting the bar really high with my photos (for my personal standards) so it's getting harder and harder to push myself. I feel like I could have done (much) better with my PVRIS and AWOLNATION photos, but I really am in love with most of the moments I captured of Fall Out Boy! They had this really cool fake snow that fell from the ceiling during the first song, which was great since I only got to shoot the first 3 songs of each band. It made for some really epic visuals!

BUKU MUSIC + ART PROJECT | MUSIC FESTIVAL PHOTOGRAPHY

A few weeks ago I had the opportunity to cover BUKU Music + Art Project (better known to the New Orleans area as BUKU Fest) for Stitched Sound! I had always heard about BUKU but never attended. It's only been around for a couple years but each year it has been getting bigger and bigger, and this year it had actually sold out (30,000 people, CRAZY!)
