Capturing the Soul of Black Bottle Riot’s 'Fire'
Music
For Black Bottle Riot’s album Fire, I had the honor of creating portraits that embody the open, soulful, and electrifying spirit of their southern rock sound.
This project was more than just a series of images—it was about visually translating the raw energy, passion, and grit that define the band.
After two years of relentless songwriting, touring, and honing their craft, Black Bottle Riot was ready to hit the studio, bringing their signature blend of heart and intensity to life. Fire is more than just an album; it’s a reflection of their journey, a powerful statement of their evolution as musicians. Every song is infused with stories of perseverance, freedom, and unfiltered rock ‘n’ roll energy—something I aimed to capture in each portrait.
The images mirror the album’s dynamic character—deep, vibrant, and steeped in that unmistakable southern flair. From intimate close-ups to powerful group shots, every frame tells a piece of their story, showcasing the camaraderie and authenticity that drive their music.
Being part of this creative process was an incredible experience. Watching the band pour their soul into this project and capturing those moments of pure dedication and emotion was a privilege. Through these portraits, I wanted to give fans a glimpse into the heart of Black Bottle Riot—where passion meets music, and where Fire truly comes to life.
