REVOLVER SPRING 21 X EVANESCENCE

In June of 2014, I packed up the car from my home of The Bay Area, and moved to Los Angeles in hopes of being a music photographer. A novel can be written about my brief time there. I met both wonderful and terrible people. I created some amazing art and was the most poor I’ve ever been in my life. I experienced and photographed live music at venues I only read about or saw on music documentaries.

It has always been a dream of mine to have a magazine cover in a music magazine and when REVOLVER reached out to me to photograph Evanescence for their Spring cover, I felt all kinds of emotions. I’ve assisted my mentor and friend Nick Fancher on two different cover photo shoots for them in the past and always dreamed of doing my own work for them too.

It took a global pandemic and loss of work to find time to explore and experiment with photography. I started doing virtual art photos in May as a way of reconnecting with people. I had no idea that I would end up meeting and creating with humans of all ages and backgrounds from all over the world.

I am honored that I got to meet Amy Lee of Evanescence this way. We had an hour in February where we not only connected about the last year, but we talked about how it feels being creative women. I’m really pleased with how the covers and feature turned out, these images were Amy Lee, a virtual meeting, a projector, flowers, crystals and me.

I am a music photographer and can’t wait to create with more wonderful musicians for the rest of my life.
