for the best shots
All Access:
pit, stage, backstage + entire venue to cover all vantage points for the best shots. I am a seasoned veteran on-stage/back stage music photojournalist and I respect every Artist I work with, their space and their specific documentation wishes. I will never interfere with a performance.
For any concerns regarding my presence on stage, feel free to reach out to Cyro Baptista or Wayne Coyne of Flaming Lips, who since 2009 has always invited me to shoot on-stage whenever I am covering a show or festival. *He's always made me wear some sort of costume to 'blend in' to the show, which has always been fun... sweaty, but fun.
Firefly Fest

1 shared cloud folder with only the best edited shots in both web-res/watermarked for your online sharing needs (social media) + mid-res non-watermarked images for your promo use (magazines, newspapers, print media/flyers); simply credit me.
Want to schedule a band shoot or need hi-res files for something bigger (merch, billboard, posters, album, etc.)? I'd be honored to be a part of that, and as a professional I do charge a standard commercial licensing fee. Just tell me what you need and I know we can work it out.
