THE TEAM

Nick currently works at Larry’s Music and Sound and has been in and around the music scene for about 20 years now. Either writing and playing music, helping run sound and lights, repairing gear, or photographing bands/instruments, he is constantly involved in a multitude of aspects surrounding music, art, and self-expression. Apart from his work, Nick enjoys camping with his wife Brittanie and trying new foods. He is inspired by 80’s-90’s horror and sci-fi and enjoys gaming and playing with analog gear of the past.

For Carousel, it is about letting people be seen. As a photographer her work displays more than a story but the emotional depth of the subject and moment. Her work is “for people who aren’t afraid to be seen”; spanning from automotive and weddings to concerts and solo portraits, considering herself a “niche less” creator. She works closely with local sound company Codex, shooting artists such as, The Revivalists, Grace Bowers, Drive by Truckers and more. Beyond her pursuit in camerawork, she is most known for her affiliation with the Hickory local music and events venue, The Premier. If she did not have to work, she would spend all her time consuming as many books as possible with her tuxedo cat Beebs. She enjoys spending her days training for half marathons and enjoying a cigar (or cigarette, whatever is available). As a native to Morganton, NC, her summer is full of hiking but you are most likely to find her in her kitchen baking sourdough loaves.
