Photographers will see this shirt and wonder, “does it come black?”

2006: On a whim, I bring my camera to an Avett Brothers concert, inspiring me to dedicate my life to music photography.

2024: I'm the staff photographer for the Tonight Show. The Avett Brothers are performing on tonight's show.

How it started vs how it’s going — a thread 🧵:

Crew will see this and just think “hell yeah.”

This is probably my favorite photo from Zayn’s performance on Fallon. It’s a moment from the very end of taping, from first and only take we did — and one of the last frames I made. The pose of looking off and the dramatic lighting felt fitting for this song.

Excited for this show. I hope you’ll love the photos.

Skip having an actual meal. Grab a granola bar and fruit snacks instead. Find a corner and eat them like a little goblin. Eat as quickly as you can. Have an energy drink. Have two. Then go back to work. Enjoy the ride.

I love the feeling of excitement when fans see new photos of their favorite artists. Making images is personal, but it feels a bit like magic seeing the images take on a life and meaning for others wholly on their own, beyond any sense of self.
