Two years ago, I kind of accidentally photographed my first concert. I joined Back Alley Brass Band at their Mardi Gras show to photograph the T-shirt I designed for them. At some point, I ended up turning my camera towards them and shooting their whole set. That night at The Ship was the beginning of my concert photography career. That event inspired me to add photography to my business, which is now one of the most popular services I offer.
Last week, I joined them again at that very same event, this time with new camera lenses and two more years of experience.
EFG Creative and Back Alley Brass Band have grown together over the past two years, through lineup changes, good and bad (and terrible!) stage lighting, and other ups and downs. We’ve grown in this industry, in this community. Together.
Since Mardi Gras 2023, I’ve built relationships like this with a bunch of other performing artists and organizations too. I can’t wait to see what the rest of this year brings.
Music is love.
