THE BEGINNING.

You may ask why I would add these poor-quality shots from the 2018 Music Fest that I had to pull from my Facebook because I couldn’t find the original photos… but there’s a reason. I think they show that I had a high interest in music/event photography before I even realized it. I took my Nikon D7100 (how I was allowed, who knows) to this jam-packed weekend to try and memorialize one of my favorite events in the world. I would post the photos, and I would have artists interested in having me send photos over, which I, of course, obliged. Knowing I have several more years under my belt of experience and a more in-depth knowledge of stage lighting and capturing the key moments, I know that I can really capture shows well.

2023 Shelby is proud that 2018 Shelby unknowingly gave it a shot. 2023 Shelby would do you proud.
