Boris - Amplifier Worship Service Tour

Boris recently concluded their North American Amplifier Worship Service Tour, and I had the privilege of covering the Houston stop. I also had the opportunity to do a backstage photoshoot with the band before their set. This was my first time experiencing Boris live, and I wasn’t entirely sure what to expect. However, "incredible" barely scratches the surface. The atmosphere they crafted while performing Amplifier Worship was truly immersive and powerful. It’s a show that will stay with me for a long time.

Until I Wake - Houston, TX

In October, I had the chance to catch up with Until I Wake before their show in Houston. We met up near the venue for a quick photoshoot, and they were an all-around great group—easy to work with and super nice.

Beg to Serve 2024

A couple of months ago, I found out Angelmaker would be stopping in Houston in October, and I was lucky enough to arrange a photoshoot with one of their vocalists, Casey Tyson-Pearce. I’ve been listening to Angelmaker for years, so meeting Casey and shooting with him was great.

We kept things simple with a quick shoot near the venue at an abandoned car dealership. For lighting, I used a straightforward two-light setup: the main light was a large parabolic umbrella, complemented by a medium softbox to add some subtle fill.

After the photoshoot with Casey, I stuck around to catch Angelmaker’s live set and capture some shots of their performance. The energy was unreal, and it was a great chance to shoot each band on the lineup.

Urban Heat

I recently discovered Urban Heat and was instantly hooked on their music. They were on their North American tour, and I was stoked to connect with them at their Houston, TX show at White Oak Music Hall.

Before their set, I grabbed a quick shoot with the band. I found an interesting spot across from the venue that complemented their vibe.

Their show was brilliant. I’m definitely looking forward to catching them again at their next Houston show.

Living Chaos Tour

Living Chaos Tour

I recently had the opportunity to link up with Oceano and To the Grave at their Houston, TX stop of the Living Chaos Tour. It’s been a while since I’ve made it to a show or covered any live music, so it was a nice change. It was great night with some solid people and an awesome show. Oceano and To the Grave had me out to shoot some promos and snap some live shots.
