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.


Warped Tour 2015


Warped was an absolutely indescribable experience, but I'll try. It was interesting because I went with the mindset of a photographer but I was doing merch for the Night Riots guys so I met a lot of cool photographers but also a ton of cool merch people.  You seem mostly the same people every day because you try to set up near your bands stage. Since you are all in this crazy situation with everyone, you make friends pretty fast. I have a lot of Night Riots photos from Warped, but also other bands I got to see.


Night Riots Tour Feb-Mar 2015


This was the first tour I ever went on. I didn't realize how hard of a tour it was until I went on a few more tours. It was an amazing first experience though and I got to go across the country including going to SXSW. I also go to take some photos of some friends at South by So What!
