where energy is currency

"crowdfunded" is a collection of my favorite photographs i've made at multiple live music events that i've been privileged enough to capture in my decade + in this space. for me, crowd photographs are the most essential element of a concert because all the energy, whether good, bad, or chaotic, comes directly from them. whether it's a packed house or a fraction of what's ideal for a performer- it all stems from their ability to uplift, or, the opposite. this massive body of individuals at a show is also a unique situation where the many become the one. the "crowd" becomes more than just the people that it is made up of, but a single entity that has the power to create a legend or destroy a career. the authentic documentation of this process is vital and always rewarding.
