  • Avicii at the Pageant on St. Louis. Fell in love with photographing EDM shows and the crowds of shows like this. #avicii #aviciiforever #thepageant #edm #edmlifestyle #nikonnofilter
  • Miley, photographed for iHeartRadio with my @nikonusa Z 7 and 70-200mm f/2.8E. #iheartradiomusicfestival #iheartfestival #mileycyrus #miley #mileyraycyrus
  • Thanks to my friend Ken Yu for this photo, taken just outside the Nikon booth at PhotoPlus Expo 2019 in NYC. Tradeshows like this are always a special time to see your colleagues and photo friends from across the globe, and I’m glad to get the surprise of seeing Ken and be photographed by him again! Check out his collection of photographers at @aperture7photo, it’s pretty epic all the people he’s snapped.
  • FKA twigs. Let’s go. I’ve photographed Twigs 3 times this year, just about to shoot the fourth show of the year and these performances have been amazing highlights. #fkatwigs #kingstheatre
  • JLo from 2015 in Las Vegas. Dancers and song finales with complex choreography can be challenging, but equally fun to try and nail. #jlo #jenniferlopez #jlodancers #iheartfestival #iheartradio
  • One of my favorite images from the first year I photographed concerts. This was a couple months in on my journey as a music photographer and this show showcased the allure of capturing fleeting moments on stage that occur in live music. Maja Ivarsson of The Sounds at Mississippi Nights, St. Louis. Photographed with the @nikonusa D2x and 50mm f/1.4D Nikkor. #thesounds #majaivarsson #nikond2x #50mm #niftyfifty #50mmphotography #50mmlens
