Alex Gaynor
Live music. Natural beauty. Human form. Personality. The aspects of life that attract and inspire Alex. His photos represent flow, motion, and mischief. It is the story of glowing youth, of glowing individuality and connection, that can only be told properly by an artist who himself is immersed. Immersed in life. Alex’s work is an honest exploration of the facets of life in which he finds the most joy and the most mystery. His portfolio is a collection of a photo magic fueled by music, play, and formless interaction.

Craig Morse
Craig Morse is a freelance, d.i.y., photographic documentarian and artist, as well as a writer and social critic. Both personally and professionally, he is most drawn to the social fringe, being those who are creative, eccentric, marginalized, and misunderstood, but especially those individuals and communities who are self-realized and wholly authentic. More than just a photographer, Craig is a passionate observer, an intrepid chronicler, a critical yet optimistic humanist, a pictorial cultural anthropologist, and a people's visual historian. His curiosity for, and fascination with, human nature is inexhaustible, guiding him toward a wide array of cultural paradigms, most specifically disappearing and emerging cultures. He does this because, at heart, he is an explorer who wishes to better understand himself, humanity, and the context within which we all live and interact. And though the photographer's camera generally functions as an inert tool that serves a purpose, for Craig, it helps him to build an archive that serves as his experiential memory. Meanwhile, having been independent, without editorial constraints, or a capital driven agenda, he has been able to dedicate himself to living in-the-moment, going-with-the-flow, and being true to his own ethic, thereby bringing to light an intimate narrative while making meaningful social connections. When it's all said and done, Craig believes that the journey is the destination, so that no person, no experience, no lesson, and no opportunity should be taken-for-granted. As such, he attempts to live a life that is both personally fulfilling and socially contributive while he also attempts to make sense of that which connects each of us to our hidden selves, to each other, to our planet, and to that which seems intangible or ethereal which can only be described as our connection to the great unknown. As such, Craig hopes that his portfolio of images and words will tell a story that may one day play a part in inspiring succeeding generations to realize our potential to become a substantive, conscious, and perhaps even an enlightened species.

Lani Odell
Grew up in suburb of Kansas City, Mo where I currently reside as a professional portrait photographer. I had never been to a festival or shot a concert for that matter when Music Festival Central (MFC) asked me if I would be interested in working for them. I hesitated then jumped in head first and after 3 years I have covered over 15 festivals and have even become an official photographer for Wakarusa on Mulberry Mountain and Arise in Loveland, Co. When I am not traveling this beautiful country taking pictures of everything in my path, I am a homebody who likes to play with my 3 dogs on our farm, play in my garden and go camping. My favorite bands are Rising Appalachia, Greensky Bluegrass, Fruition, Twiddle & STS9. My favorite festy foods are Fried Oreos, Spicy Pie & Asian Sensation!

Niko Apergis
I’m a festival junkie who lives off dirty bass, a dank slice of pizza and good vibes. Find me up front and center at any music festival busting out my trap arms, turning strangers into family and capturing every single moment both behind and in front of the camera. To me it’s all about the experience and sharing the love with everyone that I meet. I’ve found a deep connection to others through music and photography that speaks louder than words alone. Traveling the world is one of my favorite things to do and I’ve found that music and photography can transcend through cultural barriers which allows me to connect to people that may not even speak the same language. No matter where I am, whether it be a sold-out concert, a new country where I don’t speak the language, that new art exhibit downtown or just at home kicking back with some friends, you can bet I’ll be documenting every second. Life’s all about those little moments and I intend on sharing those with others to help them find fun things to do and people to meet.

Rio Chavez
A Northern Californian, born to artist parents. Living in Chicago. I had a love for photography in my younger years but got distracted by checking IDs and making vodka sodas. I rediscovered my passion for pictures when my mother gifted me her camera. Since starting this journey I have learned to see my surroundings in a new way. Appreciating the simple beauty in the fine lines of a building downtown, the grime of the L train, the grit of the streets and the ever-changing canvas of the sky.
