How it started…
As a photographer for primarily musicians and people on stage, I often find myself longing to capture and showcase the rest of the artists in our community as well as everyone supporting the artists by attending events and purchasing artwork. There are a lot of incredible people that surround musicians, and any artist community, that supports it, and help it to function and thrive.
If you identify as an artist or supporter of the arts, you are the subject of this project.
Please support me in documenting this beautiful community. This will be a print yearbook for you to cherish and remember this moment in Richmond.
