Adventure & Music Photographer

Images from the Pit

Taking photographs of bands performing was my introduction to photography many years ago, somewhere around 2009. Since then, I’ve shot more bands than I can count, from tiny dive bars to large arenas, warehouse gigs, and intimate clubs spanning over a hundred venues across twenty-four US states and two Canadian provinces.

Throughout the years I have been privileged opportunities to cover performances from the likes of: A Perfect Circle, The Acacia Strain, Acaro, Actor Observer, Amenra, Andrew W.K., Angel Du$t, Armored Saint, The Atlas Moth, Author & Punisher, Bane, Baroness, Behemoth, The Black Dahlia Murder, Boris, Botch, Candlemass, Cannibal Corpse, Caspian, Castle Rat, Cattle Decapitation, Cave In, Chelsea Wolfe, Circa Survive, Cloud Rat, Clutch, Code Orange, Conan, Converge, Corrosion of Conformity, Crowbar, Cult of Luna, Dark Funeral, Deafheaven, Deicide, Dozer, Dropdead, Early Graves, Emma Ruth Rundle, Exciter, Eyehategod, Failure, Final Gasp, Fit For An Autopsy, Frozen Soul, Full of Hell, Fuming Mouth, GWAR, Gatecreeper, Glacier, Glassing, God Forbid, Gojira, Gorguts, Gozu, Green Lung, Hatebreed, Hawthorne Heights, He Is Legend, High Command, Hivesmasher, Hot Water Music, Hypocrisy, Immolation, Imperial Triumphant, Infest, Jesus Piece, Junius, Killswitch Engage, Knocked Loose, Kreator, Lamb of God, Landmine Marathon, Leather Lung, Lesser Glow, Lorna Shore, Melvins, Meshuggah, Midnight, Ministry, Monolord, Morbid Angel, Morne, Mother Iron Horse, Nails, Napalm Death, Negative Approach, Night Demon, Nothing, Obituary, The Ocean, Pallbearer, Pelican, Piebald, Pig Destroyer, Porcelain, Power Trip, Primitive Man, Primus, Puscifer, Ravage, Razormaze, The Red Chord, Red Fang, The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, Revocation, Ruby the Hatchet, Russian Circles, Sabaton, Scattered Remnants, Shadows Fall, Siege, Silverstein, Slayer, Sleaford Mods, Slipknot, Slowdive, Soulfly, Spose, Spy, Stray from the Path, Suffocation, Suicidal Tendencies, Suicide Silence, Sunny Day Real Estate, The Sword, Tool, Toxic Holocaust, Trap Them, Ufomammut, Uncle Acid and the Deadbeats, Underoath, Unsane, Voivod, W.A.S.P., Weedeater, Whitechapel, Wolves in the Throne Room, Volbeat, Wormrot, Worshipper, Yob, Zao, and many more…
