I do private shoots and live-show photography to support a wide range of performer needs. I love all kinds of music genres and have photographed a wide variety of groups in venues ranging from small coffee shops to mid-sized theaters and outdoor festivals.
Your team. When you hire me to photograph your band, I’m part of your promotional team. I bring my creative skills to the table to make you look good. That’s my number-one priority.
Your message. What works for a metal band doesn’t necessarily work for a jazz band. Every band is different and should have pictures that say who they are. You talk, I listen, and we’ll work together on a solid plan to get the images you want.
Your choice. You shouldn’t be stuck with just what a photographer thinks looks good. I’ll offer my professional expertise, but you get a say in the final selection.
Your budget. You shouldn’t have to buy photos or licenses you don’t need. Need pictures for social media? An album cover? Images for merchandise? Tell me how you plan to use the photographs, and we’ll work out the details.
Great gear. I use a full-frame DSLR with a variety of wide-angle and zoom lenses, choosing the right equipment for the venue and group size.

Live Shows and Events
Convey the experience. Photographs should put fans right there in the heart of your show. Knowing a band helps me capture the nuances of its live performance, so I’ll ask about your show and watch any videos you have. And if there’s a stage dive coming, let me know—I’ll be ready!
The only flash is you. Flash can distract performers and ruin stage lighting, so I shoot live shows without flash.
Social media support. I can provide your social media person with high-quality photographs for live posting and updates during shows. Please inquire about availability and arrangements.
Private Photo Sessions
Natural-looking poses. No stiff poses. I’ll help you create relaxed, interesting images that communicate what you want to say about yourself: high-energy, approachable, fun, serious, intellectual—or something else entirely. We’ll make good use of your session time to create a variety of looks.
Everyone looks great. Getting a large group looking good in one frame can be challenging. I use a rapid-shoot method to increase the chances of getting the right expression from everyone. When appropriate, I can also combine frames into a “best-of” composite.
Lighting and other gear. For situations that need controlled lighting, I have a portable lighting rig with continuous softboxes and umbrella lights. I can also bring a portable backdrop and green screen when needed.
