This is an interview series to feature badass concert photographers. When I started my career in music photography, there weren't a lot of resources out there for women, and I was at a loss for who to turn to, who would understand my concerns and questions. This series was started for two reasons: in hopes to help those starting their careers and get the advice and tips that they need, as well as creating a safe space for everyone to talk about experiences & prejudices faced in the music industry, share advice, and how they got to where they are today.

#07 Kris Lori
Kris is an incredible photographer who started out shooting concerts in 2010! Over those years, she's built her experience shooting in Boston, Chicago and now resides in the Bay Area, but her photography career has brought her numerous other places across the country. Her vibrant work caught my eye a few years ago, and her kindness made me feel the need to feature her on this podcast.

#04 Chloe Dunscombe
Chloe is an incredible photographer based in the UK. At the time of this interview, she was in COVID-19 lock down with the band she was on tour with...what a wild time we live in. But an experienced tour photographer and amazingly talented in both film & digital photography, I wanted to speak to her about her experience in a different country's music industry as well as getting her tips on touring and advice for getting started.

This week I'm interviewing my friend, Samatha Paige. I met Samantha through a Facebook group supporting women and gender nonconforming people in the music industry, and through my YouTube channel, have done a few videos and chats with her previously. For this episode, she talks about how she got started in the music industry and her advice for anyone else wanting to do the same.
