Overview

FIRST3 & Friends is a photography exhibition presented in Silver Lake, marking the first gathering of photographers working in contemporary music as part of the FIRST3 & Friends series.

The exhibition brings together 21 photographers whose work is shaped by close, ongoing relationships with artists - on the road, off the road, and everywhere in between. Their images are shaped by proximity, trust, and repetition, documenting performances, transitions, and the quieter moments that exist around them.

Together, these photographs contribute to the visual language of modern music culture.
