I'm AK, a photographer and videographer based in Chicago

Born and raised in Nashville. Music is in my roots, and it shows in my work. Being around music my whole life turned into a real passion for capturing it, and that passion is what pushed me into concert photography. I also love making music videos; that's where I get to bring the same energy into a different kind of frame.

I've worked as a Director of Photography. Photographed over 90 artists. Concerts, Lollapalooza, behind-the-scenes, promotion, and the in-between. Photo and video, shot on a Sony FX3 for video.

I care about the stuff most people don't think to capture. The soundcheck, the setup, the quiet minute backstage before doors open. That's where the real story lives, not just the sixty minutes on stage. Making a tour documentary is a dream. I'm ready for tour! Open to traveling wherever the work takes me. Ready to create!
