On a recent trip to Nashville, I had the incredible opportunity to photograph the Luke Combs UK Tribute Band performing live at Category 10—Luke Combs’ official bar. Even better? I was once again mentored by David Bergman, Luke Combs’ actual tour photographer. From the music to the mentorship, this night was filled with energy, insight, and unforgettable photo moments right in the heart of country music’s capital.
I had the surreal opportunity to photograph Taddy Porter’s first show back on stage—and this wasn’t just any shoot. I was selected as a winner of the Canon USA - Get Up & Go - Rock Your Shot contest and flown to Oklahoma City to shoot alongside Luke Comb's official tour photographer, David Bergman. Canon outfitted me with elite gear (hello EOS R3 + RF lenses), we shot at the iconic Oklahoma City Tower Theatre, and the day started with an unforgettable visit to Bedford Camera & Video—a photographer’s dream. Here’s the behind-the-scenes of one of the most incredible experiences of my career.
