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.

I’m especially passionate about music photography and hope to one day go on tour, work with my favorite artists, and build a career in the industry! Outside of my busy life, I enjoy reading fantasy novels and I love trying new coffee places to find the next best Chai Latte!
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.
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.

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.
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!

Lara Ann Schumacher

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!
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

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.
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.
