What was the coolest story you experienced as a music photographer? 

I was side stage shooting for Lauryn Hill recently, and her stage manager put her headphones on me for a few minutes. It was a direct feed to Lauryns, vocals, isolated. It was absolute heaven on earth.

Why are you a music photographer?

I love capturing the essence and energy of music, documenting a moment in time that will never be again.
