Getting the chance to photograph Larry Fleet live is always something special. There’s a raw honesty in his voice and a power in the way he commands a stage that translates beautifully through a lens. This night at Buckhead Theatre was no exception.
Moments like this are exactly why I love documenting the soul of live music through Exposing Southern Shadows.
Photographing Ruston Kelly at Terminal West was a true pleasure. Ruston’s songwriting carries a rare emotional depth, and when those songs come alive on stage, the atmosphere in the room becomes something special.
Capturing those moments — the connection between artist, music, and audience — is exactly why I love documenting live music through Exposing Southern Shadows.
Photographing Ryan Bingham live at The Tabernacle was an incredible experience. Bingham’s music carries the spirit of the American West, blending country, folk, and roots rock into songs that feel both rugged and deeply personal.
Seeing those songs come to life on stage at The Tabernacle was something special. Bingham has a way of delivering a lyric that feels lived-in and honest, pulling the whole room into the moment. Capturing that connection between artist, music, and audience is exactly why I love photographing live shows.
It was a real pleasure photographing Hayes Carll live at Terminal West. Known for his sharp storytelling, wit, and deeply human songwriting, Hayes has long been one of the most respected voices in the Americana and Texas songwriting world. Songs like KMAG YOYO and Beaumont show his ability to blend humor, honesty, and heart into lyrics that feel both personal and universal.
Seeing those songs come to life on stage is something special, and capturing those moments through the lens is exactly why I love documenting live music.
It was a pleasure photographing Watchhouse live at Tabernacle. The duo of Andrew Marlin and Emily Frantz have built a devoted following through their warm harmonies, thoughtful songwriting, and a sound that blends folk, roots, and bluegrass influences into something beautifully timeless.
Their music fills a room in a quiet but powerful way, drawing the audience into every lyric and melody. Capturing that atmosphere through the lens is exactly why I love documenting live music.
It was a real pleasure working with Jana Holland. Jana brings a natural creativity and thoughtful energy to the process, which made the entire shoot feel collaborative and relaxed. Moments like that are when the best photographs happen, when an artist’s personality begins to show through the lens. Sessions like this are exactly what I love about creating portraits and artist imagery through Exposing Southern Shadows.

Working with Mike Barnhill of the band Hydra Fighter was an absolute pleasure. Mike is not only the driving creative force behind the band, but also a deeply thoughtful songwriter whose music carries both grit and heart. During our recent promo photography session, it was clear that his artistic vision runs deep, blending the raw power of rock with the kind of authenticity that defines the best independent music coming out of the North Georgia scene. Sessions like this are always inspiring because artists like Mike bring a genuine passion to what they do, and it was an honor to help capture that spirit through the lens.
