Riot Fest // Chicago // 2015
No Doubt, Riot Fest Chicago 2015
I recently traveled to Chicago to photograph Riot Fest, a music festival with a very impressive lineup packed full of new and classic Punk, Emo, Pop, and Hip Hop artists.
Like any respectable music festival these days, there was rain and mud. Lots and lots of mud. But I can honestly say that I've never before seen or photographed so many bucket list artists in one festival, so the mud was a small price to pay.
Take a look at some Riot Fest Chicago highlights below.

Full Moon Festival // Brooklyn
With a full blue moon rising above Brooklyn, people from all over the globe got together party it up at the Full Moon Festival on Aug. 1. Yelle, Slow Hands and MOTHXR were just some of the acts who graced the stage.

Mourn // Live in Chicago
Mourn put on a dynamic performance at Schubas in Chicago, IL on July 19, appearing nowhere near exhausted from their Pitchfork set earlier that same day. The Catalonian quartet drew an impressive crowd and gained more momentum with each song -- gravelly vocals evoking their alt/punk influences Patti and PJ. Those like myself watching Mourn for the first time were completely captivated by the rawness and sincerity beyond their years.

The Photo Ladies // A Focus on Film
I love live music, but more than that I love to photograph live music! If I am at concert I will more than likely have my camera in my hands! I have seen and photographed so many great bands and musicians over the years! These are just a few of my favorite shots I have taken and that I am most proud of!
