Chontalle Musson;Cassie Henderson EP Cover;Shot during the music video for Seconds to Midnight. Setting a fun party scene that is happening around Cassie, but her world is falling apart.
Chontalle Musson;Laneway Festival Auckland, Chappell Roan crowd;In the crowd of a show is my favourite place to shoot. Really get that feeling like your there just for the artist. Surrounded by screaming fans. The perfect energy.
Chontalle Musson;Ella Monnery Me, Myself & I;Me, Myself & I single cover for Ella Monnery. Shot in a hotel room as part of the single roll out (thanks nzonair) so fun and fresh like like the track and Ella's vibe.
Chontalle Musson;Kaylee Bell Red Dirt Romeo;Big day in the studio with Kaylee Bell before the release of her latest album. Red Dirt Romeo is red in colour and all about those country dirt roads. With the time crunch we lit the studio like it was sunset all in red, and Kaylee playing her guitar. Really rock n roll Nashville.

Chontalle Musson;Linkin Park at Spark Arena;Shooting for Linkin Park at Spark Arena. Shooting in the crowd, in the mosh is my favourite thing. The real experience, the view that fans see when jumping around to their top songs.
Chontalle Musson;Synthony in the Domain;Fireworks finale at the yearly Synthony in the Domain festival!
Chontalle Musson;Zedd at Ultra Festival New Zealand;Shooting the first Ultra Festival in New Zealand was a true honour. Capturing my favourite set of the night, Zedd was exciting! See his energy and the high level production exactly what this photo captures.
