From the pit, and everywhere else.
Tour, festival, and venue photography for bands, promoters, and labels. Three-song pit, full set, or a whole run of dates — I travel with the band when it makes sense.
The whole thing, spelled out.
Full-set or three-song
Three-song pit is the press standard, but full-set access usually gets you the photo. We'll figure out what works for the room.
48-hour gallery
Edited gallery within 48 hours of last call. Bands need photos while the tour is still alive — no exceptions.
Press-ready exports
Web, print, and social crops delivered alongside the full-res files. Drop straight into press kits and posts.
Crowd + atmosphere
I shoot the room as much as the stage. Promoters and venues use these shots more than the band shots, somehow.
Tour passes handled
I work directly with TM/promoter on credentials. You give me the contact, I take it from there.
Multi-night discount
Run of three or more dates? Per-night rate drops meaningfully. Most-booked package on this page covers three.
Soundcheck
Optional, recommended. Best light, no crowd, and gives me the stage layout before doors.
Hangs + portraits
Greenroom or bus, whatever's easy. A few intentional frames before the night gets loud.
Openers
I shoot opener sets too if we've agreed on it — usually a great warm-up for the night.
Headline set
Full set unless we've agreed on three-song. Pit, wings, balcony, soundboard. I move.
Crowd + after
Bows, encores, crowd shots, the bus loadout if you want it documented. Then I disappear and start culling.

Best tour photographer we've worked with, full stop. Reads the room, doesn't get in the way, and turns around galleries before we've even gotten home.
About concert & festival specifically.
Do you handle credentials? + Read
Yes. Send me the TM or promoter contact and I'll work directly with them. I've worked with most of the major Midwest venues — usually they already know me.
What about flash? + Read
I shoot available light by default — stage washes give you the picture you actually want. I bring an on-camera flash for backstage and crowd shots when the room calls for it, never on stage during a set.
Festivals? + Read
Yes. I've done Bonnaroo, Hinterland, Sonic Lunch, and a few smaller regional ones. Reach out at least 6 weeks ahead so we have time to coordinate credentials.
