@crtctrlbandfl’s new single "Thirst" (out now on all streaming platforms) was SO FREAKING GOOD live at @the.barter.box in @quinteassence. Create: Control is hands-down my favorite local band in Central Florida. If me screaming their lyrics from the side of the stage didn’t give it away… now you know. Every show they somehow raise the bar. Tonight they introduced their new guitarist @swonger_john — and he absolutely shredded. Considering the complexity of CC’s music and how quickly he had to learn the set, it was mind-blowing. Dude didn’t miss a single note. They’ve got a tour coming up and if they’re playing near you, do not sleep on it. Years from now, you’ll be bragging: “I saw Create: Control in a smaller venue before they were selling out stadiums.” And if that wasn’t enough, they’re playing with @donefor_band (who I haven’t caught live yet but need to) and @indebtedmusic (another future stadium-filling band). Tour Dates: 🗓 7/16 – @oscuralive 🗓 7/17 – @mutinyocala 🗓 7/18 – @redline_athens 🗓 7/19 – @slyfoxpub 🗓 7/20 – @529_eav (No DONEFOR) #CreateControl #ThirstSingle #FloridaMusicScene #SupportLocalBands #LakelandMusic #DIYMusic #IndieRockLive #LiveMusicFlorida #UndergroundMusicScene #BarterBoxLKLD #TourSeason #NewMusicAlert #DoneforBand #IndebtedMusic #CentralFloridaMusic #AltRockScene #LiveShowRecap #GuitarShred #IndieBandsToWatch #CatchThemBeforeTheyBlowUp #sonyalpha

@2reasonsband absolutely slayed Friday night at @the.barter.box inside @quinteassence. Killer set, packed crowd, and one of the most gloriously bizarre endings I’ve seen in a while—featuring a trumpet, a didgeridoo, and a bass that looked like it was handcrafted by the Texas Chainsaw family. If you haven’t seen them live yet, fix that. A good time is not just likely—it’s basically a guarantee. Also... kinda want one of those murder basses. #2ReasonsBand #PunkShow #AltMusicScene #WeirdInTheBestWay #LiveMusicFL #BarterBoxLKLD #CentralFloridaMusic #DidgeridooAndDestroy #MurderBass #SupportLocalBands #LakelandFL #Quinteassence #UndergroundMusic #DiyScene #PostPunkVibes #PunkEnergy #AltCommunity #ConcertVibes #LiveAndLoud #FloridaBands

Getting to see one of my favorite local bands live in @the.barter.box at @quinteassence is always a pleasure - and @deprimeband never disappoints. What made it even better? Seeing two of my favorite people joined by another one of my favorite people. Watching @marcwithamouth absolutely kill it on bass alongside @kevingislon and @willforcsgo felt like catching lightning in a bottle. The chemistry was undeniable - they sounded like they'd been playing together for years. Best show yet. #PunkShow #LocalMusicScene #FloridaPunk #LiveMusicFL #DeprimeBand #PunkIsNotDead #BassistsOfInstagram #UndergroundMusic #DiyScene #AltCommunity #SupportLocalBands #PunkPhotography #LivePunk #BandLife #ConcertVibes #LakelandFL #SonyAlpha #CentralFloridaMusic #PunkRockers

Did you miss out on all the cool stuff at Thursday night’s FundRaver for @nullifeye and @willforcsgo’s new home? We had DJ sets from @marcushootenofficial and @wai2k_music, plus two phenomenal drag performances by @butchwellingtondrag. And @nullifeye proved yet again why they’re one of the best local DJs with a set that had the entire room moving. You can still support two of the most important people in Lakeland by sending funds to $nullifeye. You can also show your love by coming to a show at @the.barter.box! There are some killer events this weekend and next, featuring a few of my favorite local bands. If you did make it Thursday—what was your favorite snag? #FundRaver #SupportLocalArtists #LakelandFL #BarterBoxLKLD #Nullifeye #LocalMusicScene #LakelandEvents #DIYShows #AltCommunity #LiveMusicFL #NecronomiconVibes #FloridaCreatives #UndergroundMusic #SonyAlpha

So happy to have this limited edition Uzumaki statue featuring Azami's final spiral in my collection now. It's huge, it's beautiful, it's amazing. If you didn't know, I'm a HUGE Junji Ito fan, having collected all of their works since I was old enough to pre-order their releases. Junji Ito is THE reason I love stark black and white photography and art. If you've never read their work, definitely google "The Enigma of Amigara Fault" and give it a read. The full story is available on imgur as one of the top search results (Looking at you @thenateflemingg ...) I've been meaning to get a Uzumaki tattoo for years to go with my Cthulhu tattoo (which I desperately need touched up/finished). This might be the catalyst to have it done finally... Huge thank you to @nullifeye for letting me know FYE had this statue in stock. I'd been considering picking this one up when it was first announced but couldn't really justify the price. FYE having it on clearance had me speeding across town after work to nab the one they had. There's a slug girl statue out there that I desperately want to get my hands on one day too. If you happen to spot one in the wild, hit me up. Okay enough giddy rambling. My week has been made - going to be hard to top this. #junjiito #uzumaki #spiral #spiralout #keepgoing #manga #horror

Was stoked to see @toeknifefl live again, this time in @the.barter.box at @quinteassence #livemusic

Congratulations to @theshoujoprince for winning the photoshoot giveaway contest! I will be in touch to figure out our shoot! Thank you again to everyone that applied. I am wildly humbled that so many of you are willing/wanting to have their photo taken by me. When I started this journey I honestly did not think that 1.) I would enjoy it as much as I do, and 2.) that so many other people would enjoy my work as well. I love and appreciate all of you. Many more free photo opportunities coming in the future, so keep your eyes peeled.

@krystalhuot_ and @tj_ho.well performing for @fredidanceproject this past weekend at Branscomb Auditorium. Krystal and TJ are two of the most talented dancers I've met. It's always a pleasure to capture their work on film and in photo. #dance

@thesetimesfl celebrated "10 Years of Pop Punk" in @the.barter.box at @quinteassence on Thursday, May 22nd and it was yet another amazing show. Incredible to think they've been bringing incredible music to the Lakeland and central Florida area for ten years now. Here's to another ten more! Make sure you catch them in the Jurassic Florida tour - tonight in Daytona, the 30th in Tampa and the 31st in Orlando! Hoping we get to see them opening up again this year for @thelipstickplayers Rocky Horror! #livemusic #punk #poppunk

After a long break, the Hollingsworth Cryptid Chronicles return. 🦆 Ducklings danced across the water in every stage of life—from fresh hatchlings to adolescent fluffballs. ☀️ The heat was punishing, the air thick and heavy. 📷 My gear nearly outmatched me… but something else did. Out of the corner of my eye—beneath the moss, across the lake— I saw him again. Or thought I did. The Follower. Blurred in my lens. Gone when I looked again. But something is out there. Watching. The Chronicle has resumed. And something knows it. #HollingsworthCryptidChronicles, #DucklingsOfInstagram, #NatureReels, #CryptidSightings, #WildlifePhotography, #LakeHollingsworth, #UrbanWildlife, #BirdWatchingDaily, #NatureMystery, #FloridaWildlife, #CanonWildlife, #DocumentaryStyle, #StorytellingReels, #CryptidLore, #SpringAtTheLake, #NatureVsHeat, #TheFollowerReturns, #WhatLurks, #BackyardMystery, #NatureChronicles

I’ve seen @cultfashionband more times than I can count - and every set hits just as hard as the first. Their blend of post-punk, darkwave, and alt-rock is absolutely beautiful, and getting to see them take the stage at @the.barter.box was such a wonderful moment. Every member is a stellar human being, and that genuine energy comes through in the music. Cult Fashion is a cornerstone of the Lakeland music scene - and if you haven’t seen them live yet, you’re missing out. Also, and I'll stand by this, they have the coolest shirt designs of any band out there. #CultFashion #PostPunk #DarkWave #AltRock #LakelandMusicScene #TheBarterBox #GothNightLKLD #LiveMusicFL #UndergroundMusic #SupportLocalMusic #AltMusicVibes #DarkPop #IndieGoth #CentralFLMusic #BandToWatch

Got to catch @deepxbite live in @the.barter.box at @quinteassence and they absolutely delivered. Shoegaze is such a tricky genre to get right - but Deep Bite nails it. Wall-of-sound textures, dreamy melodies, and just the right amount of grit beneath the shimmer. It’s the kind of music that pulls you into a trance without ever feeling distant. No gimmicks, no ego - just solid, emotionally resonant music that hits you right in the chest and lingers long after the set ends. If you’re into the genre, this is a band you want on your radar. #DeepBite #Shoegaze #DreamPop #WallOfSound #IndieMusic #LiveMusic #PostRockVibes #UndergroundScene #AtmosphericRock #AltGaze #SupportLocalMusic #GuitarWash #ReverbNation #IndieShoegaze #LiveBandLove

Caught @moviepropsband live last night in @the.barter.box at @quinteassence and I’m still processing how two people created that much sound. Some of the absolute best drumming I’ve ever seen live - explosive, tight, and full of character. And then there’s the synth setup, handled entirely by the lead vocalist, that somehow pulled off the sonic weight of a full band. Electric lead guitar tones, rumbling basslines, shimmering textures, stunning vocals - all from one person. It was insane. It was beautiful. It was mesmerizing. And honestly, it was wildly inspiring. If you get the chance to see Movie Props, go. It’s a full-on audio experience you won’t believe is coming from just two people. 🎧 @moviepropsband - More Cholula #MoviePropsBand #LiveMusicMagic #TwoPieceBand #SynthRock #KorgNation #DrumGoals #ElectronicRock #IndieDuo #LivePerformance #UndergroundMusic #AltScene #ExperimentalSound #PostRockVibes #SoundDesignWizardry #MusicalInspiration

Finally got to see @highwayadvisoryradio live last night in @the.barter.box at @quinteassence - and holy cow, what an experience. We got treated to a full set of brand-new music and let me tell you… this upcoming album is going to rip. Every single track hit hard, and I genuinely can’t wait to spin the whole thing once it drops. The energy on stage was electric: 🎸 Shredding guitars by @de.luz.ions 🥁 Relentless, precision drumming from @john.ostberg 🎸 @andykempt 's hypnotic basslines anchoring it all. I’ve seen every other incarnation of Andy’s bands over the years, but this is absolutely him in his truest form. 🎤 And @laithabdel_ delivering jaw-dropping vocals and stage presence that had the whole room hooked Truly the full package. Do not sleep on this band. Go see them live. Pre-save the album. Tell your friends. 🎧 @highwayadvisoryradio - Heavy Traffic #HighwayAdvisoryRadio #AndyKempt #LiveMusic #PostPunk #AltRock #IndieRock #NewMusicAlert #SupportLocalMusic #BandToWatch #LiveShowEnergy #ConcertVibes #UpcomingAlbum #MustSeeBand #AltScene #UndergroundMusic #ExperimentalRock #SonyAlpha

Caught @diavolstrain live at @newworldtampa and was completely blown away. Riot dark wave from Chile, that's raw and intense. It was incredible to see them bringing such fierce energy to the stage.

Grateful I got to see @feyleux again last night at @newworldtampa on their latest tour. Absolutely mesmerizing. 🖤 They’re an incredible duo making some of the best goth dark synth music out there — moody, powerful, and beautifully haunting. Left me feeling inspired to dive back into making music myself.

Had the absolute pleasure of catching @lustmusik live last night with some friends at @newworldtampa - incredible energy, hauntingly beautiful singing, killer synths, and one hell of a performance. This was my first time at @newworldtampa as well and I think I'm in love with the venue. It's amazing. Great acoustics. Great space. Their vegan mexican pizza was the best I've ever had. Definitely check it out if you've not been there previously. I’m beyond excited to see L.U.S.T. again at @the.barter.box on June 14th for @gothnightlkld.

Ghost Night Success at @gothnightlkld in @the.barter.box at @quinteassence! 🎉 What a night, Lakeland! 🙌 We came together to celebrate @thebandghost’s latest album Skeleta with an epic listening party 🎶, watched DJ @marcushootenofficial remix the entire album in real time 🔥, and danced to the amazing goth-industrial sounds of DJ @nullifeye and DJ @sullenspecter! 🖤 Lakeland's goth princess @mercy.panic dropped all of our jaws with amazing drag performances. Huge shout out to @theghostfacesociety for helping organize this incredible night and for being a convincing enough Papa II that we had to explain to a few folks that he was not in fact Tobias Forge.

Lakeland, so many of you missed Noisefest at @the.barter.box last night and honestly, it was my favorite night at the box yet. So many incredible artists came through and I can't wait to share them all with you. This clip is from @boy.without.batteries, who showed up with CRT TVs that pulsed with the sound and a rig of Gameboys they performed on. It was wild and took me back to my chiptune days. I also picked up a new skill last night: figuring out how to make still photos move with light - inspired by the amazing @jeremyriveraart. You have to see it with your own eyes to believe it. I’ve got a flood of photos, videos, and sounds to share, including the closing set: a full-blown spiritual noise bath led by @nullifeye, where performers from the night joined forces in a cascade of beautiful chaos. A moment of noisy stillness for those who stayed late enough to witness it. I really hope we do Noisefest again. You’ll want to be there. I definitely will be. 🎧 Boy Without Batteries #noisefest #lakelandflorida #thebarterbox #experimentalart #noiseart #noisemusic #soundbath #crtart #glitchart #gameboymusic #diymusic #noisecore #floridamusicscene #supportlocalartists #undergroundmusic #lakelandevents #gameboy #chiptune

Tonight at Union Hall, the final notes faded out and it hit me - this was my last time seeing @hannahlenoxx perform in Lakeland before she graduates and steps into whatever comes next. Hannah is one of the most gifted singer-songwriters I’ve ever heard. At her first show, I handed her and Rachel Baldwin some photos from their set. Their warmth and kindness in response made me realize I wanted to give something back to the musicians who pour their hearts into their craft. Capturing those fleeting echoes of motion and sound is one of the only ways I know how. The hundreds of bands I've handed photos to this past year and change have Hannah to thank. Tonight, I got to meet her amazing parents and watch a room filled with friends and family beam with pride as her voice filled Union Hall one more time. During one song, I caught myself holding my breath - not wanting the moment to end. Music is such a gift, and I’m so excited for whatever stage, city, or quiet corner gets to hear her next. She's releasing a new single on all major platforms soon - keep your ears open for it. It’s beautiful. Hannah, wherever the road leads, may it rise to meet you with harmony. 🎧 Hannah Lenox - Voicemails 🎤 Audio mixed live by @ctorres04 #singersongwriter #lakeland #unionhalllakeland #bittersweetmoments #livefolk #acoustic #supportlocalmusic #graduationseason #musicisagift #imgettingatoothache

Of course I had to burn through a roll of Portra 400 for the grand opening of @lakelandfilmlab on 4/19. There’s just something poetic about shooting film at the very place that would later bring it to life. It was such a great day - full of good people, inspiring conversations, and that unmistakable buzz you get when a creative community finds its heartbeat. I couldn’t be prouder to have a dedicated lab like this right here in Lakeland. Did a brief photo walk as well leading up to the opening (because like usual, I’m extra and got there WAY too early). Congrats to the whole team at Lakeland Film Lab for pulling this together. You’ve built something beautiful, and it’s already making waves in the local photography scene. 📸 Shot on Rolleiflex 3.5f // @kodak Portra 400 
🧪 Developed and scanned (fittingly) by @lakelandfilmlab Let me know what you think of the tones - Portra always surprises me with how it renders warmth and subtle color shifts. #lakelandfilmlab #grandopening #filmlab #shootfilmlikeme #filmisnotdead #portra400 #kodakportra #120film #mediumformat #rolleiflex #rolleiflex35f #filmlabvibes #supportlocalfilm #filmcommunity #filmphotographer #lakelandflorida #creativecommunity #analogphotography #shootfilmstaybroke #filmcamera #filmlove #filmforever #kodakfilm #behindthelens #filmdiary

Had a blast on @centralfloridaphoto's photowalk through Winter Haven on 04/13. These kinds of meetups always remind me why I love photography - wandering with fellow creatives, chasing good light, and seeing familiar places with fresh eyes. All of these were shot on my beloved Rolleiflex 3.5f using @kodak Portra 400. Can’t get over how this film renders color - it’s creamy, soft, and timeless in all the best ways. Big thanks to @lakelandfilmlab for the excellent development and scans. Seriously, they only just opened but this lab is already keeping my analog heart beating. Swipe through, drop your favorite shot in the comments, and if you’ve never joined a photo walk-do it. You’ll come back inspired.

Just got my first rolls of 120 film back from @lakelandfilmlab and I'm floored. Every single frame from the 5 rolls I handed in turned out beautifully. It's so incredible having a film lab here in Lakeland that's affordable and incredibly talented. These shots feature the stunning @waitingformontauk from when I was second shooting for @katywaltersphotography the weekend before last. We were working on capturing behind-the-scenes shots of Katy's work for Marie’s podcast (which you should absolutely check out - amazing concept, amazing guest). 📸 Shot on a Rolleiflex 3.5f with @ilfordphoto HP5 400 medium format film 👉 Swipe through and tell me which one hits hardest. Would love to hear what film stock you’ve been vibing with lately.

Join me behind the scenes as I shoot @theghostfacesociety's latest incredible cosplay of Papa Emeritus II of @thebandGhost in @the.barter.box on 4/20/25. The irony of the timing of this photo shoot is not lost on me... Regardless! This was a blast. Joe is such an incredible cosplay artist. One of my lifelong dreams as a photographer is to shoot a Ghost concert and I literally got goosebumps doing this shoot as it felt like I was in the presence of Tobias himself. 📸 @sonyalpha a7r5 | FE 28-70mm F2 GM 🎧 Monstrance Clock (Holy Smokes Remix) #GhostBand #PapaEmeritus #GhostBC #TheBandGhost #PapaEmeritusII #GhostCosplay #CosplayPhotography #CosplayShoot #MetalCosplay #GhostFans #BTSPhotoshoot #BehindTheLens #PhotographersOfInstagram #ConcertDreams #BandPhotography #EpicPhotoshoot #GoosebumpsMoment #UnholyHoliday #IronyNotLost #LakelandPhotographer #FloridaCosplay #CentralFloridaCreatives #holysmokes #pope #skeletarockineve

Last night was pure chaos in the best way. The @femmetek.ent Club Hardcore Rave at @the.barter.box in @quinteassence absolutely delivered on every level. Easily some of the best DJ and drag performances I've ever seen. I was lucky enough to be one of the photographers for it - and this was one for the books. Here’s a glimpse at what went down. Can't wait for the next one. #Femmetek #BarterBoxRave #HardTechno #AltDrag #UndergroundScene #RaveCulture #LakelandEvents #QueerArt #HardcoreRave #Photocompilation #RavePhotography #DragRave #LakelandFL #BodyPositiveRave #Lakeland #KavaBar #ImpactPlay #RaveVibes #Rave

Experimenting with @fujifilm_instax_northamerica square image murals for a larger project I'm considering working on. This one's a cygnet from Lake Morton. Created using @photoshop, an instax square printer, and some patient experimentation. Was much easier to do than I expected. Full tutorial coming to YouTube soon. #instax #instaxsquare #adobe #mural #cygnet #swan #fujifilm #quackquackquack

That one will be going to @lakelandfilmlab when they open next Saturday. Good times had by all before I had to run back to Lakeland for a day full of other shoots. Anyone else see a skull face in that building in the 3rd photo? 💀 I just have @thebandghost on my brain too much lately if not...

🛸👻 GHOSTS vs ALIENS RAVE 👻🛸 Still recovering from the interdimensional dance party of the year! Big love to @kawaiikunaimusic for hosting this cosmic collision at @the.barter.box (right next to our friends at @quinteassence)! The beats were absolutely unreal thanks to @void_musik , @djawesomusprime , and @nullifeye - the DJ booth practically warped time and space. 🌀🎶 On stage, the dancers lit up the night - aliens, ghosts, and everything in between were summoned to move. 👽✨👻 And in case things got too weird, Mulder & Scully showed up to keep the paranormal in check. If you missed it, don’t make that mistake twice! Follow @kawaiikunaimusic and @the.barter.box to keep your eyes peeled for the next transmission. More photos and videos from this one coming soon! 📡💫 Highly recommend. Would rave with extraterrestrials again. 📸 @sonyalpha a9iii | FE 28-70mm F2 GM #GhostsVsAliens #RaveReport #Nullifeye #KawaiiKunaiMusic #BarterBox #XFilesCameo #DJVoid #Rave #DJAwesomusPrime #DancefloorInvasion #dandadan #sonyalpha #aseprite @aseprite

Here's a sneak preview of some (completely unedited!) photos from today’s Ghostface takeover at @spookalafl 🎥👻🔪 Felt like the ringleader of a deranged circus - wrangling masked maniacs in broad daylight, and loving every second of it. I think I officially need a Scream-themed top hat and baton for next time. 🎩🔥 This con delivered - killer vibes, amazing energy, and some of the most creative, passionate horror fans I’ve ever met. Already locking Spookala into my permanent con circuit. If you're even slightly into horror or cosplay, this one needs to be on your radar. Huge thanks to @theghostfacesociety, @dcj_cosplay, and @baby.bloodbath for pushing me to come out and shoot - you folks are legends. 🙌 More to come, but for now, enjoy this creepy little video reel of chaos and slasher glamour. Join the crew tomorrow as they do a @deadbydaylight themed day!

@indebtedmusic covering @deftones "Elite" at @the.barter.box Having just seen Deftones live a few weeks ago, this gives some insanely real Chino Moreno vibes. Absolutely nuts. #deftones #livemusic #metal

The photos are in! I just wrapped up a massive photo edit (21,668 photo paired down to 184) from Sunday’s @lakelandpunkflea at @swanbrewing - every jump, every shout, every perfectly chaotic moment. The full photo collection is now live on my new @flickr (link in my story and profile). Huge shout out and thanks to the bands who made this day absolutely insane: @low_season_fl @youvandalfl @petlizard813 @dial_drive @forsakenprofits @bullyforyouband @thekutoffs @thewhyioughtas and every punk that showed up to support the scene. You all crushed it. Lakeland’s punk scene is incredible, and it’s because of bands and people like you bringing the energy, the honesty, and the noise. Can’t wait to see what’s next - and I’ll be there to capture it! 📸 @sonyalpha a9iii | FE 28-70mm F2 GM 🎧 The Whyioughtas - If at first... #lakelandpunk #punkphotography #floridapunk #centralfloridamusic #supportlocalmusic #punkisnotdead #flickrphotography #flickr #livemusicphotography #punkshow #diymusic #undergroundscene #lakelandfl #musiccommunity #festivalphotos #punkrock #lakeland #LakelandPunkFlea #sonyalpha

Watch me edit 6 hours of festival footage in just 90 seconds using @davinciresolvestudios. You too can learn this amazing skill! (Pro tip: Right-click the timeline, set speed to 5000%. 😜). Seriously though, Davinci makes multi-camera editing WAY too easy. 6+ cameras at once is a breeze. On a more sincere note - there’s something magical about getting to re-experience a festival from perspectives the crowd never could. That’s the power of tiny cameras and big storytelling. Shoutout to @djiglobal for gear that fits in my pocket but opens up an entire world. 4x DJI Osmo Pocket 3's and 4x DJI Action 5's gets you ALL the angles you could ever want and more, all while being completely solo. Sunday was packed with phenomenal bands - some old favorites, some brand new discoveries. Huge thanks to @lakelandpunkflea and especially @chadchastain for putting this together, to @swanbrewing for hosting, and to every single band that brought their energy to the stage. Lakeland: the punk scene isn’t just alive - it’s thriving. We are in the middle of a musical renaissance, not just here but across central Florida. Don’t wait. Pick up a guitar, a mic, a drum stick, a beat machine - or just a notebook. Start creating. Start screaming. Start dreaming. Photos drop tomorrow. Stay punk, Lakeland. 🎧 EOM - Shudder (Remix) #punkrock #lakelandpunk #centralflorida #floridapunk #dji #djipocket3 #davinciresolve #musicvideoeditor #festivalvibes #supportlocalmusic #punkisnotdead #lakelandfl #floridamusicscene #undergroundmusic #punkrenaissance #diypunk #shotonpocket3 #musiccommunity

@indebtedmusic killed it tonight at @the.barter.box. Not only did they perform the best @deftones cover I've heard to date, but they also did the first ever cover I've heard of a @gojiraofficial song and it was perfection. Their original music were all bangers too. Blew my mind. You should absolutely go out of your way to watch them play live. Amazing set, killer vocals, perfect instrumentation, knew how to get the crowd moving. This is another band that will absolutely get big. Enjoy seeing them in smaller venues while you can.
