Hunter Hunted | Ace of Spades, Sacramento

On Sunday night, I got to photograph Hunted Hunted, a band I've been photographing since I first started shooting shows three years ago (when they were known as Lady Danville). I discovered them back then when they were touring with Jack's Mannequin and instantly became a fan. They've always been such a pleasure to work with, and it's so awesome to see how much bigger they're getting. They're currently on tour with Twenty One Pilots and recording their first full-length album. I'm so stoked to see where they go in the future - they are such talented and genuine guys and deserve all the success in the world! 

Below are a few of my favorite images from their set, but to view the whole album, click here.

Senior Portfolio: Anxiety

I spent the spring 2014 semester working on a personal project for my senior portfolio class. I chose to do work on the topic of anxiety, which is something I've struggled with for as long as I can remember. This is a project that I did more for myself than for the class, the grade, or approval of anyone else, and it proved to be extremely cathartic. I moved completely out of my photographic comfort zone and tried things I hadn't done before. I drew inspiration from the photographer Francesca Woodman and primarily shot in the dark, doing long exposures. It was difficult and vulnerable, but I'm happy with the body of work I've produced.

Here are my 10 final images I submitted for the portfolio:

The 1975 | Ace of Spades, Sacramento

The 1975, a band from Manchester, played to a sold out crowd at Sacramento’s Ace of Spades last night. It was such a fun set to shoot! The lights made for some interesting images.

Salsa Loca Live | Sac State

Each year, Sacramento State's student organization UNIQUE puts on an event called Salsa Loca Live. Salsa Loca Live 2014 took place last night, and was comprised of dance lessons, several DJ sets, and two sets by the Grammy-winning Latin big band Pacific Mambo Orchestra. It was so much fun photographing the band and everyone having a good time on the dance floor.


Zumba Glow | Sac State

Last week, I photographed a Zumba Glow party in the Union Ballroom at Sacramento State. It was a challenging shoot since it was dark besides the bright clothing and glow sticks glowing in the black light, but I had so much fun playing around with some long exposures.
