---

In 2010, I went to my first festival, which was Soundwave. Paramore were the only reason I was going and it was also my first time seeing them. After that day I dreamt of one day taking photos at Soundwave and Paramore. When Paramore came back to Australia later that year I met Brandon Chesbro who was their official photographer and friend, and after meeting him I knew being a photographer was what I wanted to be. Being able to travel the world with your friends and taking photos of the whole experience was just... in my blood.

Fast forward to today (2013) and I'm so close to fulfilling that dream I made in 2010. I've photographed Soundwave, and more importantly I got to photograph my favourite band in the world, Paramore, and captured this shot that will forever be in my memory of the best moment in my life. After Soundwave, I truly felt like I had made a massive step into becoming the photographer I've wanted to be since I was 15.

In a months time (June) I will be going on tour around Australia with my friends in Aveira Skies, documenting their experience and just having an awesome time.

I haven't been this stoked on life since I was born.

I don't really like Paramore all that much, but this shot is pretty kickass (I know you've probably gotten this A LOT )
