RED ✰ Boston Photographer

A dramatic, vibrant shot of a lightning strike over golden sunset-hour clouds and a darkening Boston neighborhood. A few New England style apartment buildings and the silhouettes of trees sit in the shadows covering the bottom third of the image, contrasted by the bright white of the electricity and the rich orange of the sky.

My favorite shot from last night’s golden hour lightning storm over Boston. ⚡️ #thunderstruck

Two fruit bags hang sleeping in their enclosure at a Boston zoo, illuminated by a haunting, reddish-orange light.

Sorry, can’t hang out—
I’m busy thinkin’ about bats. 🦇💨

Black and white photo of a blonde lead singer kneeling on stage mid-hair whip, eyes closed, lips curled into a smile. Her long curls arc through the air like a flame. The shot crackles with motion and intensity under harsh stage lighting.

Dynamic black and white portrait of the lead singer gripping a microphone and belting into it with full force. Her glittery tank top and high-waisted leather shorts shimmer slightly under the stage lights as she leans forward, eyes shut, raw emotion on display.

High-energy black and white photo of a long-haired bassist crouching close to the lens, grinning wildly at the camera while playing. His body language is bold and magnetic, capturing the sweat and swagger of the moment.

Starting a new photo series: one band per letter, A–Z, from my live music archives.

First up: TWIG 💥🎸
