Memphis May Fire

Photographing Memphis May Fire live was like diving headfirst into a storm of sound, light, and pure chaos. Their stage presence was unmatched—an explosive fusion of energy and precision that lit the entire venue on fire. The lighting production was nothing short of cinematic, with smoke machines and blasters igniting every breakdown like battlefield pyrotechnics. Frontman Matty Mullins was a force of nature, thrashing across the stage and commanding the crowd with a voice that ripped through the mix like a razor. The mosh pits were absolute madness, with wave after wave of crowd surfers—including me—being swallowed and thrown by the chaos. Every riff, every scream, every surge of hype was a moment of pure adrenaline, and capturing that energy through the lens was nothing short of mind-blowing.
