Machine Gun Kelly Stagecraft

For many years now I have maintained a friendship with a talented guitarist whose career has grown from playing small local Dallas gigs to stadiums and arenas around the world. His name is Justin Lyons, and I've watched with excitement as he started gaining opportunities playing for top K-Pop artists like BlackPink, then top U.S. artists like Lil Wayne, and now Machine Gun Kelly, who is nominated for a Grammy Award this year. I've been fortunate to have special access to a small part of this fascinating journey and to make photographs along the way. This image was taken at a Dallas performance at American Airlines Center when the spotlights created an interesting geometry with the musicians.
