Hi, my name is Emma Vurdien and I’m a concert photographer based in Los Angeles and Orange County! As a concert goer and music enthusiast for many years, I came to enjoy the unique and fun atmosphere that live music creates. I love taking photos of music artists because their various expressions show their passion and seeing that raw emotion seriously gives me the feels and takes me back to that moment! My most favorites are kpop and indie artists— any opportunity to see and photograph a group I love is so very special to me.

Hi, my name is Matt West! I'm a photographer based in Nashville, TN with a passion for photos and music. Since I can't play an instrument, I thought the best way to feed my passion for music would be to combine my two loves. So now, I take photos of concerts!

Photographer & Reviewer

Heya! I'm a photographer and videographer based in Salt Lake City. I've been active as a concert photographer for the past five years, and until recently I shot exclusively on film. Concert photography has been a huge draw for me, and while I have negligible musical talent, I've been passionate about music my entire life. Live events cultivate a vibe and energy you can only truly experience in person, but I believe I can give fans and musicians a taste of that feeling with my work.

When I'm not at home losing to my friends in Mario Kart or spending wayyy too much time watching movies, you can usually find me at a concert with a camera in hand. Born and raised in Northcentral Pennsylvania, I made the solo trek to Nashville, Tennessee, in the summer of 2022 to pursue a career in the photography/media industry and have been living here ever since. I haven't taken a single moment or opportunity for granted and feel incredibly lucky to have been able to photograph the people and events that I have.

Hi! My name is Lauren Pierce (she/her). I’m a 20-year-old Music Business major at Belmont University in Nashville, TN! I have been singing since I was very young so music has always played a huge part in my life, but I always knew I never wanted to be an artist myself. Before going to Belmont, I was set on being an entertainment attorney, but that all changed after I had my first music business class! I knew after that I wanted to be in the industry and work hands on with artists. I then found a passion for music publishing. I have always admired songwriters and the process of songwriting, but I was never given the gift. I love getting to hear new music and am always finding new artists to listen to! Living in Nashville has helped me fuel this passion. I am constantly going to shows and finding new local artists to listen to!

Photographer & Writer

Hi! My name is Megan and I'm a graphic designer and photographer based in Huntsville, Alabama. I've been a writer my whole life, but I only got into photography within the past three years. As soon as I discovered my love for it, though, I was all in. As someone with a passion for music, getting to combine this interest with my love of photography and writing has been a dream come true!

Hi! my name is sara (she/they), I am a 19 year old from North Carolina, and I’m super excited to be working as a Concert Photographer! I’ve always known that I had a passion for Photography, but it wasn’t until last year, when I started going to more concerts, that I realized I was really into photographing live music. Specifically, at a Lizzo concert last year, is when It really hit me (her concert was amazing!)

Hi!! My name is Reagan and I’m a 19-year-old music photographer and nursing student based in Harrisburg, Pa. When I heard my cousin playing the guitar about 8 years ago, I knew someday I wanted to be a part of the music industry, so I decided to pick up the camera! I’ve played piano since I was 6, and have picked up guitar and bass in the last 4 years or so. Going to shows brings me so much happiness and has brought me my best friends.

I’ve loved music my entire life, but starting when I was around 12, it became one of my main focuses in life. It’s become a huge dream of mine to work in the industry as a photographer and to write reviews on some of my favorite artists. Even though I’m only 15, I’m doing everything in my power to achieve these goals as soon as I possibly can.

Photographer & Reviewer

Hey, I’m Jessie Hirzel (she/her)! I’m a photographer currently based in Utah. Music has always been something I’ve been passionate about. There’s something so special about finding a new favorite artist, going to a show, and being surrounded by the music. I also love the community created through live music. I’ve met some of my best friends at shows, and we stay connected through the music of our favorite bands. When we go to shows in different states, we always see someone we know. It’s just so cool! There’s truly nothing else like it. Photography is my way of expressing my love of music. I love capturing the emotion of artists in such a chaotic environment. Shows are so fast-paced and energetic, and I love finding the moments of raw emotion amidst all the movement.

Hey, my name's Ryan Huppe and I'm originally from Boston, but I am currently an Omaha based concert photographer/videographer. Music has always been a huge part of my life and has definitely shaped who I am today. For me as a creative it’s been so surreal to go from sitting in the stands watching my favorite artists only a few short years ago to now being inches away capturing the raw energy and emotions they bring to their shows. The aspect I love most about shooting a concert is that no show or artist is ever the same and as a creative you are always going to come out of a show with a completely different set of photos. It keeps things fresh and exciting. Although I just got into the music photography space a few years ago, I’ve already had some of my most enjoyable/memorable moments of my photography career shooting these shows. I’m extremely excited to see what the future holds for not only myself, but the concert photography community as a whole.

I particularly love the experimental aspect of film photography and flirting with the unknown with each exposure. All of my creative work has always been incredibly important to me, but the feeling of capturing a moment in time at a concert feels especially gratifying and exciting.
