FOUNDER - Head of Photography

Hi! I’m Lilli, a Denver based live music and portrait photographer! I’ve been a fangirl my whole life and love getting to help others get their foot into the door of the music industry world! Over the past 4 years i’ve been lucky enough to photograph some of my favorite artists such as Taylor Swift, Katy Perry, Three Days Grace, and Motley Crue! I shoot for a total of 3 publications as well! I’m also a licensed cosmetologist!

Getting to create Social Casualty with my best friend has become such a dream come true and It’s so special that together we get to see our contributors grow and thrive! I can’t wait to see where Social Casualty takes us and all of our contributors!

FOUNDER - Head of Journalism

Hey there! My name is Britney (or Brit for short) and I am a DFW based journalist and live music photographer. While my coverage  focuses Asian Artists, many of my dream artists to cover span across all genres!

When I’m not behind the lens or computer screen, you can probably find me dancing or playing video games!

It has always been a dream of mine to stay involved as much as I can within the music industry, and now I get to do that with some of the coolest people I have ever met. Social Casualty has opened many opportunities for me, and I hope to continue to do the same for others (with the help of my amazing co-founder) <3

Hi, I’m Cady! I’m 18 years old and born and raised in California. I’ve been attending concerts since I was seven, and my love for music started long before that. I’ve always dreamed of building a career in the music industry, specifically in helping people discover music and experience the same connection and excitement that I’ve found through it. I have a particular interest in discovering smaller, under-the-radar artists and bands and giving them the recognition they deserve. Through Social Casualty, I’ll be sharing my perspectives on music and live shows, as well as helping audiences discover and connect with artists on a deeper level.

Hi I'm Elly, a photographer for Social Casualty! As a music creative and proud Canon girly, I live for capturing the raw moments of hard techno, festivals, and traveling abroad to shoot unforgettable gigs. My style focuses on vibrant colors and capturing how strobes, laser lights, and sudden bursts of pyro or fireworks are lighting up the stage to truly encompass the raw energy of each crowd. When I’m not behind the lens at a show or dreaming of photographing massive stage productions for artists like P!nk, Katy Perry, and The Weeknd, you can find me by the beach near Phillip Island capturing the wildest moments of surfers traveling from all over to catch the waves or you might even find me out catching a wave or two myself.

Hi! My name is Emily, and I’m a photographer for Social Casualty. For the past five years, I’ve been documenting the local music scene in Evansville, Indiana, while spending the last decade freelancing across just about every corner of photography, from editorials to weddings. I knew from a young age that photography, specifically concert photography, was what I wanted to pursue in life. It has brought me opportunities, a strong community, and confidence I don’t think I could have found anywhere else. Photography has given me so much in this life already, and there’s nothing in the world I’d rather do.

I’ve always been passionate about music, shows/concerts, and photography, so getting into live music photography came naturally. Some of my favorite genres to shoot are pop punk, alternative, and metal because the energy in the crowds is so fun and chaotic in the best way. Being able to shoot artists and bands with Social Casualty has been such a great experience, and it honestly just makes me love the industry even more every time. I’m excited to continue growing in this space and connect with people who share the same passion.

Hi! I'm Kiera and I'm a journalist for Social Casualty! Music is my main passion and I've been a fangirl for as long as I can remember. I absolutely love doing deep dives into artists and learning about new ones, as you can never get enough music. My first concert was in 2019 and since then I knew music was something I wanted to be involved in! Live music is a huge inspiration for me from the community it creates down to the artist. I'm also a huge fan of rock, indie and pop! Especially Louis Tomlinson and Oasis. I also strongly believe that fangirls are the backbone of the music industry so I can't wait to share my passion of music with you!

I’m Marion, 30, just moved to Melbourne. I work in event coordination, but what I'm really obsessed with is photography! For as long as I can remember, I’ve never really gone anywhere without a camera. I started with travel and wildlife but then I got a super cute pup and he took over as my favourite subject. 

Outside of dog time, I’m almost always around live music; so when I moved to Melbourne, I knew it would be the perfect place to dive into concert photography, with literally 10 different gigs happening each night around the city (turns out musicians move just as unpredictably as animals...just with better lighting!). 

I’ve always felt super safe behind my camera, like it gives me a sense of purpose, so being a photographer for Social Casualty, a women‑run music publication, is a huge honour !

Hi! I'm Marlea, a contributing photographer, videographer & content creator for social casualty based in Minneapolis Minnesota!

my favorite thing to do in life has always been going to a concert, my friends & family would always joke that I'm not breathing properly if I'm not at a show. I love capturing all aspects of a concert, from the moment the artist walks out to the moment the house lights come back on and everyone wants a encore, showing people what goes on behind the scenes is so cool too me and showing all the effort that goes in to make the show seem effortless, some of my favorite artists to this day are the ones that have brought me the best concert memories such as, Green Day, Billie Eilish, Reneé Rapp, Red Hot chili peppers, and so many more.

anything I can do to add to the pure excitement of the concert experience is what I live to do,
