From The Pit is a curated exhibit of images of New Zealand musicians playing live in New Zealand. But more than anything it is a celebration of the craft and art of live music photography.

Each week dozens of photographers are huddled into music venues up and down the country capturing photos of New Zealand’s vibrant music scene. It’s a difficult and unpredictable environment to work in, but these photographers work tirelessly to capture the magic they see before them.

Part artists, part historians, but all music fans, they all strive to take the perfect photo which reflects how it felt to be at the concert and communicates the excitement of a live music event.

An extended remix of the print exhibition with bonus additional content will also available as an audio visual version. Along with limited runs of high quality prints in a range of different sizes, available for purchase in store at Monster Valley.

Now more than ever music lovers, and photographers alike are seeing the importance of live music. With locals gigs in full swing, venues across the country are full of happy smiling faces, gathered together once again to enjoy the musical talents of Kiwi artists.

From The Pit 2020 is designed and curated by New Zealand music photographers Dave Simpson, Chontalle Musson and Reuben Raj.
