Alessio Michelini
I'm an 30yo Italian web designer/developer based in Dublin, and since I came to Ireland I started to go to gigs in the city. Photography started with taking pictures to my cats (as most of the people), and turned along the years to a deep passion for music photography. Nowdays I work with different webzines/magazines, like Goldenplec, State, Drop-D or AU Magazine. And this year I was honoured to be one of the official photographers for the Electric Picnic Festival.
Alex Rose
My names Alex Rose, I'm nineteen years of age and have had a major interest in photography for several years. I shot on 35 mm film and pretty much use any camera I can get my hand on. I like to photograph the ordinary and the everyday and the people we are surrounded by. In a way I feel I am just documenting my life day for day and making a personal diary of my life in photographs.

Danielle Graham
My interest in live photography stemmed from my love of music, as well as through working in the music industry. I have been taking live photos seriously for two and a half years, but it all started out with me taking silly shots with a tiny digital camera in tow at various gigs over the years.
My portfolio is slowly but surely building and I have been lucky enough to shoot some fantastic artists including Paramore, Florence & The Machine, Fleet Foxes, LCD Soundsystem and Friendly Fires. My photo's regularly feature on my own music blog The Noises In Our Heads and live shots of mine have also appeared on Irish singer songwriter, Mick Flannery's site.
More recently my photo's from this year's Electric Picnic festival were featured on Ireland's most popular music blog, Nialler9.com.
