I am a homegrown...diy music photographer from the Live Music Capital of the World! I moved here from SoCal (Oceanside, CA) about three years ago and fell in love with everything Austin.
I have been shooting live music since March of 2008 (3 months after buying my first DSLR).
I shoot for INsite Magazine (Austin), austinist.com and Mishmash Magazine (Los Angeles) on a regular to semi-regular basis. I also shoot for Silverback Music when their artists roll through Austin.
I try to maintain a photojournalistic style with live music which means my images can be rough around the edges.
My goal: To make you (the viewer) feel like you are right in the middle of the action. I go for the "energy" rather than the clean predictable shot. I also try to put a unique touch on every band I shoot so all of my shots don't look like they were from the same stage (even if some of them are).
Feel free to drop a constructive bomb on me if you feel the need. On the flipside I also like to hear positive things....
I appreciate anyone who takes the time to check out my work!
Please check me out @ Twitter, MySpace & Flickriver too! Thanks!

Read lessPhìve's homeless series is touching. They bring these men and women to us as human beings. There's no pity in his portraits, but rather respect. His portraits show the homeless for what they are; people trying to survive on the margins of society.
