Experience the thrill of live music captured with passion and expertise.
Premium Live Music Photography
With more than 20 years of experience capturing the magic of live music, I bring unparalleled expertise and passion to concert photography. I was honored to be nominated by the judges of Phoenix New Times as “Best Concert Photographer in Phoenix,” a sentiment shared by many in the industry.
I’ve had the privilege of photographing a diverse range of artists, from global icons like Taylor Swift, P!nk, Tori Amos, TLC, and Sarah Brightman to beloved bands like My Chemical Romance, Tool, Evanescence, Incubus, and Jimmy Eat World. I’m passionate about photographing all genres, preserving the energy and artistry of each performance with care and precision.
My approach combines technical mastery and artistic sensibility. I deliver images that showcase:
- Impeccable Editing: Vibrant colors, natural skin tones, and the concert’s unique atmosphere.
- Attention to Detail: Preserved clarity with minimal grain or noise.
- Versatility: Action shots and portrait-like images that capture the mood.
Concert photography is my #1 passion, blending my love for music, visuals, and technology into a craft I’ve refined to the highest level. If you’re looking for a top-tier concert photographer to document your event with creativity and a deep understanding of live music’s energy, I’d love to collaborate with you.

Testimonials
“Katherine of Kataklizmic Design did an outstanding job of capturing the essence of the high-energy hard rock band I play in. Like any great artist, she has the innate instinct for capturing the right picture at the right moment. Aside from her artistic excellence, she is affable, easy to deal with, professional, organized, and prompt. I recommend her without reservation to anyone looking for a pro photographer to properly capture terrific images from a concert performance or any other setting.”
“Armed with an infectious enthusiasm, Katherine’s natural talent, creativity, and commitment to perpetual betterment consistently place her work in a league all its own. Her photos offer an experience that is familiar, real, and undeniably vivid, while cutting the over-effected fat exemplified by many of her peers. She is a fu*king gem, and one I’d recommend highly for any performance-based photographic need.”
