Levelling the Field: Empowering Artists
Keeping it free:
In today's music scene, musicians must stay creative in marketing themselves, especially with the advent of social media, where they must rise above the noise. I contribute to their journey by offering quality captured photographs at no cost. These photos are a valuable resource for regional and unsigned touring musicians, allowing them to showcase their talent and passion effectively. In an age where visuals matter, these images help artists connect with their audience, boost their online presence, and advance their careers. By providing this support, I aim to give these artists an edge and help them stand out in a competitive digital landscape.
Working for artists.
I'm proud to mention that I work for free, providing all my work to artists for unrestricted use. I aim to support and empower artists by ensuring they have the content to thrive creatively. Your support helps me continue this philanthropic mission and contributes to the larger creative community, fostering a culture of artistic growth and expression.
Your support through print purchases or donations keeps my work continuing and free for artists. Thank you for helping in nurturing creativity and supporting artists' journeys.
Our Small Town and The Big Sound
Supporting the arts is essential because it fuels the creative culture that paves the way for the future. In 2020, there were over 5 million unsigned artists globally, releasing 8.5 times more albums than major labels that year.
Live artists are the lifeblood of this creative culture, playing a pivotal role in expanding the tapestry of artistic expression. The local music scene, in particular, holds a special place in shaping a community's cultural fabric. It acts as a fertile ground for nurturing and developing emerging musicians.
The significance of a thriving local music scene cannot be overstated, as it substantially contributes to a region's social, economic, and artistic aspects. Supporting live artists is not just an investment in today's creativity; it's an investment in the future of our cultural landscape.
The eye:
"My lens is my voice, eyes, and vision."
Through it, I capture the hidden stories and emotions of the world. I've had the privilege of documenting the journeys of up-and-coming musicians, from the open mics to the big stages. I strive to reveal the passion and rawness that makes music captivating and unique. These photos are more than just snapshots as they embody the artists' energy and spirit.
Maybe I am not a photographer just a storyteller, capturing the essence of the music scene.
PROJECT "3A"
Age is not evil; life at all stages has this fantastic way of writing its story, no matter what we do to cover it up. Our eyes, smile, and even the lines on our faces should be celebrated as our truth. That is the purpose behind "3A"; it is the "third act of my own experience." I want to document and record as many of us as we are now and show the true story of our lives.
