The Warped Tour: Added

I just finished post-production for many of The Warped Tour shows I had the honor of photographing. What a blessing!

My Story Thus Far…

Lucinda pt. 4Jewels for EyesStephanie pt. 4

I have been practicing my skills as a photographer for many years now and have taken all my closest friend’s photographs. I know that this is where my passions are, but haven’t known how I was going to use it. What has shownup for me is entertainment photography. I was asked in a seminar about living life passionately earlier this year who I looked up to and I picked Adam Elmakias. I had been very surprised to see someone I perceived as being so young shooting my all time favorite bands.

I was encouraged by a fellow seminar member to call this guy up and hear his story. Adam was very helpful. It became my mission to get a photo pass into The Warped Tour. The photographs above this paragraph are from Lifest in Oshkosh, WI. I have shared my shots of Norma Jean, Red, Wavorly, Remedy Drive, Holly Starr, Hawk Nelson, Stellar Kart, Children 18:3, Superchic[k], Pillar, Skillet & Group 1 Crew, so far.

Building that portfolio from Lifest was the ticket to shooting the recent Bless the Fall concert. I encourage anyone who wants to shoot shows to start with the basics and build up a portfolio first. It’s your ticket into a lot of shows.
