RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS | MUSIC PHOTOGRAPHY
Warner Bros Records was having a contest on their Facebook page where you should post in the comments why you should get to photograph RHCP in your city. So I posted one of the photos from Jazzfest and explained my experience and how I wanted to properly shoot them from a photo pit. A few weeks later I had a notification that I won!
PIERCE THE VEIL, NECK DEEP, I PREVAIL | MUSIC PHOTOGRAPHY
In September I got to photograph some of my FAVORITE bands ever. Words cannot explain how much Pierce the Veil and Neck Deep mean to me, the fact that they were on tour together and came through New Orleans was the most perfect thing ever. I was also introduced to their opener, I Prevail, who also put on an amazing performance.
HONEYVIBE | HOUSE OF BLUES NEW ORLEANS | MUSIC PHOTOGRAPHY
HONEYVIBE IS AT IT AGAIN. I thoroughly enjoyed photographing them at the Baton Rouge Blues Festival a few months ago. This time, they helped me with my dream of photographing at the House of Blues in New Orleans, one of the most historic music venues and a place that I've seen some great bands at myself. Being on stage with such talented people performing and capturing their love for music is exhilarating. I can't wait to see what the future holds for this awesome group of guys!
NEW ORLEANS FASHION WEEK | ASHLEY ANDREWS DESIGNS | FASHION PHOTOGRAPHY
A while back, my friend Ashley Andrews approached me about photographing some of the looks from her collection she had been designing for her project as an LSU Senior in the Fashion department. She ended up getting accepted into New Orleans Fashion Week as one of 10 emerging designers and showed her designs on the runway in late March! Her work and my photographs of her work have been published by The Advocate, inRegister Magazine, and NOLA.com.
35 PSI, THE NOISE COMPLAINTS, MEGAFAUNA | MUSIC PHOTOGRAPHY
A few weeks ago, I had the opportunity to see/photograph 35 PSI at Siberia in Uptown New Orleans along with 2 other bands, Megafauna and The Noise Complaints! It was an awesome experience because I pretty much had full access with my camera and of course the music sounded great. Siberia was a really cool, intimate venue as well. I really enjoyed meeting everybody and hearing what they were all about!
HANGING OUT WITH 35 PSI | MUSIC PHOTOGRAPHY
Last Saturday, I was able to meet 35 PSI and check out the studio they practice in! They have this awesome storage unit in a warehouse in New Orleans that's like something out of a movie, so I brought my camera and snapped some shots while Evan and Christian jammed with 2 of the actual band mates, Chris and Colin. Their friend Adam was there too with his professional stage lighting setup and fog machine, which made photographing them feel like an epic arena concert. Y'all know I'm obsessed with lighting and silhouettes, so I had a field day.
