Philamonjaro Studio

Philamonjaro Studio Music & Dance Photography + Art + Media Creativity, Passion, Inspiration and Spontaneity. My current muse are empowered women in leadership and creativity.

After several years of documenting our collaborative projects built, installed and in some cases performed at The Burning Man Festival between 2000 and 2007, I have honed in upon my favorite subject matter of live performances, then second, photographing art. Most work is live music performance, some live dance, and last but not least, photographing a vast performance-underground including fire sp

inners, arial silk performers, hoopers, burlesque, dance, street pageantry, sideshow acts and much more. I endeavor to never interrupt the performance or the audience's experience while driven to get that once-in-a-lifetime photo. In this case, I measure my success by conveying the creativity of musicians making music, passion in the moment, the artist's inspiration and finally, spontaneity on stage. These four attributes are often caught by snapping when the eyes have that certain twinkle, during musical crescendos, immersed facial expressions, non-verbal communication between band members, and stolen moments with the audience. My first body of work back in 2011 was culling out the best of 500 concert images scanned from slides and negatives dating back to 1978 through 1986 titled Fast Fame. This helped bring closure to an undefined pasts freeing me to moving forward into new ground. Occasionally I'm inspired to produce short videos, but truthfully my first love is that frozen artifact, the still image. Currently, from distance past to recent work, I have photographed over 2,000 live music concerts, sixteen consecutive Burning Man festivals, numerous music festivals, international puppetry, scores of dance performances and many fringe events. Thank you for entering my world of imagery. I hope you enjoy it. Philamonjaro

The Molotovs live at Deleste Festival Valencia.

Like a Molotov cocktail, they are an improvised incendiary device with a big bang.

Bother, sister combo Mathew Cartlidge and Issey Cartlidge are explosive on stage with the energy, wit and sharp mod rock of The Jam, The Kinks and more.

On the heals of their debut release, they are the best live I have seen in a longtime.

Redd Kross live at Loco Club!

A brilliantly fun concert. Energetic and exciting, the music pounded all the way to the rafters. Fans rocked out. Redd Kross was great. A sound beyond any one category; power pop, quirky glam, alternative, rock, psychedelic? These Southern California veterans owned it all night.
