Music Festivals & Concert Photography

Since 2009, I’ve been photographing music festivals and concerts around the world—from iconic stages like Tomorrowland and Electric Daisy Carnival to intimate shows in Aspen. My lens has captured global acts including Swedish House Mafia, Avicii, and Empire of the Sun, as well as the vibrant energy of venues like Belly Up Aspen, where I now focus much of my work as a Colorado-based concert photographer and videographer.

Global Coverage Since 2009

Since 2009, I’ve been capturing the pulse and atmosphere of the world’s most iconic music events through immersive, cinematic photography and video. From intimate nightclub sets to massive festival stages, my work documents the emotion, chaos, and beauty of live music—whether on stage, in the crowd, or behind the scenes.

Between 2010 and 2012, I worked as a videographer for React Presents, covering legendary venues like The Mid in Chicago and producing visual content for North Coast Music Festival and Spring Awakening. Since then, my lens has taken me to global events like:

  • 🎧 Electric Daisy Carnival (EDC)

  • 🌲 Electric Forest

  • 🌴 Miami Music Festival

  • 🌍 Tomorrowland

  • 🌉 EXIT Festival

  • ⚪ Sensation White

I’ve photographed and filmed performances by artists such as Swedish House Mafia, Avicii, Richie Hawtin, Benny Benassi, Empire of the Sun, Above & Beyond, Skrillex, Sander van Doorn, and many more.

After relocating to Aspen, Colorado, my focus naturally shifted toward capturing the vibrant live music scene at one of the region’s most iconic venues—Belly Up Aspen. Since 2021, I’ve been the official photographer and videographer for the venue, blending cinematic visuals with a documentary edge to tell the story of every performance—from soulful acoustic sets to wild DJ nights.

My style combines live-action energy with polished visual storytelling—ideal for festivals, concerts, and branded music campaigns. These images have been published internationally, offering lasting visual narratives for artists, promoters, and fans alike.
