About Madeleine
Madeleine Perkins is a live music and EDM photographer based in New York City specializing in rave, festival, and concert photography. With a passion for live music culture and experience shooting in low-light environments, her work focuses on capturing moments that feel immersive, energetic, and emotionally connected to the atmosphere of the event.
As someone who regularly experiences live music events firsthand, Madeleine approaches photography from the perspective of both a photographer and part of the audience. That connection helps her anticipate moments naturally and create imagery that resonates with artists, event groups, and attendees alike.
Madeleine graduated from the University of Mississippi with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Cinematography & Film / Video Production. She provides photography coverage for DJs, artists, festivals, and live events across the East Coast and personally edits every image delivered to clients.
