Phive is a homegrown...diy music photographer from the Live Music Capital of the World! Phive moved to Austin from SoCal (Oceanside, CA) about three years ago and fell in love with it. He feels like there is an ENERGY about his new home that feeds creativity. This is something that was missing for him in SoCal. The artistic side of his brain was stagnant there...for whatever reason...
Phive has been shooting live music since March of 2008 (3 months after buying his first DSLR).
Phive is lucky enough to shoot for INsite Magazine (Austin), Austinist.com and Mishmash Magazine (Los Angeles) on a regular to semi-regular basis. He also shoots for Silverback Music when their artists roll through Austin.
Phive tries to maintain a photojournalistic style with live music which means his images can be rough around the edges.
His goal: To make you (the viewer) feel like you are right in the middle of the action. He goes for the "energy" rather than the clean predictable shot. He also tries to put a unique touch on every band he shoots so all of his shots don't look like they were shot from the same stage (even if some of them are).
Feel free to drop a constructive bomb on Phive if you feel the need. On the flipside he also likes to get positive reverb when it is warranted!
Phive VERY MUCH appreciates anyone who takes the time to check out his work!
