You know that saying, “Closed mouths don’t get fed”?
Well, I took a chance.
After seeing From First to Last absolutely crush it on Warped Tour, I reached out to Matt Good directly and asked if I could get media access for their LA show.
He said absolutely — and then, on top of that, asked if I’d be willing to shoot their new promo photos.
Without hesitation. No questions about budget. No asking what I’d get in return.
I said YES.
And honestly, I think a lot of people wouldn’t.
They’d sit on it. They’d pass because there wasn’t money involved. But to me, this was an opportunity — something that felt far more valuable than a paycheck.
This is something I’ve honestly wanted to do since I was screaming into a microphone in bands myself.
I think that’s a huge reason I became a photographer in the first place. When I was in the music scene, having my photo taken always fascinated me. I was constantly drawn to the camera, the people behind it, and the way they captured the energy of a show.
Now, years later, I got to pick up that camera and create promo photos for one of my favorite bands.
I’ll never forget that.
And I can’t wait to see these photos show up in magazines, flyers, posters, and wherever else they end up.
Sometimes you just have to take the shot.
Closed mouths don’t get fed.
