Advanced Placement Tour | Nov. 1st - 15th
After being home for the entire summer, the Night Riots full length had come out and it was finally time to tour. I couldn't be happier to be back with my brothers in the van. We started the tour with some long drives and some amazing shows. All the equipment I used was a Canon 5d Mrk II & III, Sigma 50mm Art, 24-70mm L Series, and an Incase DSLR Pro Pack.

BFD 2016 with Night Riots | June 3rd-4th

So I got to reunite with Night Riots this June to shoot the Live 105 BFD with them. They also played a show the night before as some sort of BFD pre-party thing. It was fun and I loved reuniting with these guys. I have to be honest though, I didn't take pictures of anyone else but them...Oops.
The guys had to get me a photo pass because I came short notice so they got me every pass...















































The Zoetic Tour Part Two May 2016
This was the second half of the Zoetic Tour. It felt crazy because it was only around two weeks long. The crazy part is that it was the shortest tour I've ever been on and so when we left, we were already almost home. It was a great end to the tour starting in Las Vegas and ending with an amazing last show in San Francisco.

The Zoetic Tour Portraits

Photo by Tara Avary
Managed to take portraits of everyone on The Zoetic Tour. I shot them the same way I shot the portraits on the previous tour, you can see those here. There was only two bands on this tour, The Rocket Summer and Farro, but I still managed to get quite a few portraits. I'm really happy with how these ones came out and it reminds me of how awesome all of these dudes were.

The Zoetic Tour Part One Mar-Apr 2016

The first half of The Zoetic Tour was the first time touring with a new band and it was a great experience. Doing photo and video on this entire tour was so incredibly hectic but I learned a lot. Bryce and the entire crew are all great people and some of my favorite times were in the RV while on some all day drives. Farro Was on this half of the tour so there are some photos of them in here as well. I'll post the tour portrait and the part two blog soon after this one.

Let The Kids Riot Tour Oct-Dec 2015

Halloween | Texas
The Let The Kids Riot Tour was so much fun to be on. With a lot more experience on the road after Warped, this was so much easier. We also all made a lot of friends and had some great times. After the tour ended in NJ, we played shows on the way home. Thanksgiving in PA, seeing Star Wars opening night in NM, and ending with a sold out home show, it was a great tour.

Let The Kids Riot Tour Portraits
I decided to take some portraits of everyone on the tour at the last show. For as DIY as they are, they didn't come out half bad. All I used was a Canon 430ex II, Canon 5d mark III, and 24-70mm f2.8. That isn't a bad set up but It definitely isn't as cool as what some other photographers do for tour portraits. The goal is always to improve but for now, these are the tools I had. So I just set everyone up right next to the Young Rising Sons bus, which had some white on it, pointed my flash at the bus at an angle until I found one I liked. I got a portrait of every single person on the tour, including the beloved crew, but somehow I missed Matt from Night Riots. Oops, sorry dude <3.
