Photograph by Nightjar Studio
Dayton, OhioPL 001

Shot after dark, printed for daylight

Live sets, club nights, release parties and the crowd at the barrier, photographed from the pit without a flash in anyone's face. Edited overnight, delivered before the venue opens again, and printed on fiber paper when a night earns a wall.

Behind the camera

One photographer, a fast lens and no flash

The studio shoots the room as it is: stage light, house light, the glow off a phone in the front row. Nothing gets lit that the crowd did not see, so the frames look like the night felt, not like a press wall.

A typical booking runs from doors to the last encore. Set times, the guest list and a spot at the barrier are sorted with the venue ahead of the night, and the finished gallery goes to the band, the promoter and the venue at once so nobody waits on a forward.
