flor at ACL Festival — Tape and Glue Magazine

This year I had the opportunity to work with one of my favorite bands at Austin City Limits Music Festival.

If you were to ask me right now what was the best day of my life, I would without a doubt tell you all about my day with flor at ACL.

For the last two years, I have been begging for flor to be on the ACL festival lineup, so this year when they finally were, I purchased my tickets the second they went on sale. I wanted to photograph this festival so badly, but getting a photo pass for ACL is nearly impossible, like winning the lottery or not stopping at Chick Fil A every day. But, out of the kindness of their hearts, flor allowed me to tag along and trusted me to be their photographer for the day.

It was incredible to work with these guys, but more than that, it made me feel like photography was really something that I could make a career, I couldn’t believe that I had been given such a huge opportunity, that I was good enough for it.

I will forever be grateful for this band, for treating me like family, and for giving me the chance to live my dream for one day.

Hopefully this is just the beginning.

Check out the gallery below, these are without a doubt the best photos I’ve ever taken.
