In this episode, I sit down with Sierra Sevier. Sierra is a photographer and videographer with a keen eye for capturing concerts.

Her journey into visual storytelling began through a love of live music and capturing the energy of concerts. Inspired by everything from Billie Eilish, disposable-camera aesthetics to the raw authenticity of Paul McCartney’s Beatles photography. Sierra’s work captures emotion, imperfection, and human connection. 

She reflects on discovering music photography through Hippo Campus, joining Pleaser Magazine, and developing a style built around film textures, experimental lighting, flash, and thermal visuals. 

We also talk about creative risk, freelancing, leaving the financial stability of a 9-5, and why supporting artists through prints, photo books, and physical media still matters. 

This episode is all about observation, storytelling, and capturing moments that feel alive. Enjoy!
