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.

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 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.
