every note Lives on

I’m a Connecticut & NYC-based photographer who’s obsessed with capturing the energy and magic of live music. For me, it’s more than just snapping pictures— it’s about telling the story of a moment that only exists once.

I love the challenge of finding those little details: the way an artist connects with the crowd, the raw emotion of a performance, or even the quiet moments behind the scenes. Every frame I take is my way of turning music into something you can feel even after the show’s over.

It’s about creating something that lets the music, the moment, the story — live on forever.

Much love,

My camera doesn’t just capture light — it captures SOUND!

You know that rush when the first chord hits, the lights explode, and the air vibrates with energy? That’s what I capture. Not just faces, not just instruments—the sound itself.

The PRISM LENS FX lets me bend light like it’s riding the music, turning every shot into a ripple of motion.
