I have always been a music fan.

https://buymeacoffee.com/alisonbraunphoto In 1977 I attended a Kiss concert and watched as the photographers worked in front of the stage. I was only 10 or 11 when I realized that I wanted to do the same. I was drawn to photographing people. For me shooting bands was a great way to not only contribute as a fan, but to also document an emerging music scene. I began taking pictures as a young teenager with a Pentax K100 that my father had given me. He was a serious amateur photographer and after a trip to Yosemite together, I was certain that I wanted to become a photographer. At fourteen, I began using my camera as a way to gain free admittance to music clubs on Hollywood’s Sunset Strip. In exchange for a spot on the band's guest list I traded copies of the photos I shot of the bands that played there. I spent the next several years frequenting the Whisky, Roxy, and Starwood. My photography portfolio continued to grow while I spent time at a Hollywood recording studio and out-of-town shows. After developing the film and printing the photos in my home darkroom, I would meet the band to deliver the pictures. My parents became reluctant hosts to various musicians who often came to our house. Eventually, I began contributing to punk rock fanzines locally and internationally. This artist’s page represents a small selection of a body of work that is comprised of thousands of images amassed over 40 years. Alison Braun-

41 years of DRI. El Corazon, Seattle 10/17/2026 - last night of their tour all the way back to the first time I shot them 1985 in LA at the Sun Valley Sportsman’s Hall. It can’t be stressed enough, just how influential these guys have been in the world of crossover thrash.
