With my lens as my instrument, I capture the pulse of Salt Lake City’s vibrant local and touring music scene. Blending the captivating beauty of my surroundings with the raw essence of music and entertainment through every picture I take.

John Krug
Photographer
He/Him | NYC Based
I live & breathe not only creative arts but also music & concerts. Whether deep in the crowd or right up in the photo pit with my camera, live music has always been my happy place. Equipped with a lengthy background in graphic design and a lifelong love of photography, I aim to create images that are striking, and vibrant & transport the viewer right into each show!
Kaz Phoenix
Graphic Designer
He/They | California Based
Artist by choice, emo by chance; although my interests have shifted from mediums to media over the years, my creative aptitude has yet to go down. I’m a fan of all things alternative music–if a song is grimy, grungy, or garage-esc, it’s either been saved to one of my playlists or mentioned on my radio show. You can find me in the pit, listening to one of Frank Iero’s side projects, or studying to get my B.A. in Music Industry at UCLA.
Amy Lee
Graphic Designer
She/They | Chicago Based
I’m an all-around creative, passionate about supporting artists and bringing their brand visions to life. I thrive on collaboration, helping artists shape their creative direction through simple, impactful design. With a love for branding, playful color palettes, and photo editing, I focus on problem-solving through fun, easy-to-consume digital graphics that highlight the message and elevate the brand.
Clover Byrnes
Photographer/Journalist
She/Her | California Based
When I'm not in the photo pit I'm probably in the general admission pit of a show! I found my love of concert photography when I would bring a point-and-shoot or a film camera with me to shows before I finally started in July 2022. All I have ever wanted to do is go on tour documenting an artist for who they are! From a fan to a fan I hope that my images capture what it’s like being at a show.
Vanessa Holt
Photographer/Journalist
She/Her | Utah Based
I’m quite literally one of the biggest concert addicts around. It's a norm for me to be at a venue at least twice a week. I've dreamed of being a concert photographer since I was 12 years old, being behind a camera and capturing the magic at a show is something I've loved for years. It's truly an art form that I have continued to love learning and improving over the years, next to that I love being able to write about the shows to describe them in my own words to help people get an idea on why concerts are so amazing! There isn't anything else I'd rather be doing.
Elodie Hadfield
Photographer/Journalist
She/Her | UK Based
I'm a photography student from Leeds, UK. I love everything music and I have grown up going to concerts, gigs, and festivals with my parents. Music holds a special place in my heart and for me, there's nothing better than being in the photo pit photographing your favourite band or artist.
Lara Ann Schumacher
Photographer/Journalist
She/They | Germany Based
I’m really into concerts and photography!:) Ever since I was a kid I photographed everything that happened to be in front of my lense. When I saw my first live show I knew that I had a passion to capture the essence of the incredible artists that are on stage in front of me, always through the eyes of a fan. I love to be outgoing and me and my camera are always ready for an adventure!
Cal Williams
Photographer/Journalist
They/Them | UK Based
I'm a queer, non-binary photographer from the UK. I have such a love for photography and live music I decided to combine the two together to capture the artist or band through a fans eye. If im not taking pictures from the photo pit you'll more than likely find me in the general admission pit.
Brendan Shea
Photographer/Journalist
He/Him | Arkansas Based
I’m a concert photographer that lives in the middle of nowhere which therefore loves to travel for my live music addiction. Being from a music-loving family my whole life, my path with the outlet has gone from drummer, concert lover, videographer and then finally concert photography all starting from the age of 9. The one thing that stands me out away from everyone is my unhealthy obsession with twenty one pilots and going to as many of their shows with my camera as possible.
Andrea Vera
Photographer/Journalist
She/Her| Orlando Based
My friends call me “the girl who’s always at a concert,” and honestly, they’re not wrong. Music has been a constant in my life for as long as I can remember, starting with playing instruments since middle school. Eventually, I found my creative home in concert photography—a perfect blend of my passion for music and visual storytelling. Whether it's pop, indie, rock, Latin, or EDM, you’ll probably catch me in the crowd, camera in hand.
Mauricio Domingo
Photographer/Journalist
He/Him | Ohio Based
Music and live shows are two things I hold very near and dear to my heart. They allow me to express myself in ways I didn’t know I could, and have given me the opportunity to meet so many awesome people. Which is why I always find myself attending shows whenever possible! If it's not by being in the photo pit, you can catch me in line waiting for the doors to open. Having the privilege to photograph artists and bands will never get old, and it's something I definitely don’t take for granted
Morgan Newbold
Photographer/Journalist
She/Her | Utah Based
I am 23 years old, born and raised in Utah! I have a huge passion for live music and photography, so it was only natural to combine the two as my choice of artistic expression. I love most genres of music, but you'll most likely find me at a rock or indie show!
Paige May
Photographer/Journalist
She/Her | Utah Based
There’s no place like home than to be in the photo pit of a concert. Ever since I could walk I attended concerts and as a result chose to pursue my love and passion for it through a lens. My work is driven by a deep love for live performance and a commitment to capturing the moments that hit hardest—on stage and in the crowd. I’ve chased the raw energy, emotion, and chaos of live music with a camera in hand for years. I’m dedicated to capturing the world through a lens that reveals the unseen, elevates the ordinary, and immortalizes the fleeting.

Dani Nowell

i’ve always been a huge fan of any type of live music, if you can’t find me in the photo pit i’m more than likely close to the barricade in the general admission pit. photographing my favorite artists to share with other fans is a dream come true. i’ve met so many supportive & inspiring people in my journey so far, having the privilege to do what i do is something i will never take for granted. i can’t wait to see what the future holds!

I am an aspiring music industry publicist, music journalist, and novelist! I love music, writing, and capturing the unique aspects of the world. When I'm not writing, you can find me attempting to graduate high school, getting lost in a book, listening to music, and dancing!
Breanne Gill
Journalist
She/Her | Virginia Based
I have a mission to listen to as much music as possible and go to as many concerts/shows as I can during my lifetime. I hope that, with my writing, I can capture the magic of seeing an artist live or listening to your favorite album for the first time. When I'm not testing the limits of my eardrums, you can find me designing museums as an architectural designer, learning K-pop dances, or searching for my new favorite band.
