I've spent a couple years in the pit — pressed against the barrier, lens pointed at the stage, waiting for the moment a performer becomes something more than human.

Rave photography isn't about the gear or the access. It's about understanding music deeply enough to anticipate the crescendo, the breakdown, the exact second a DJ closes their eyes and disappears into the sound.

I've shot all over southern California from abandoned warehouses to rooftop city buildings. Every frame is a negotiation between darkness and light, chaos and stillness.
