I like a bit of doomy goth music and Ave Teth ticked all the boxes. They were playing at Whammy Bar, Auckland supporting the amazing hackedepicciotto. I got to photo them for the lovely people at UnderTheRadar

These are images that I used in my 2018 exhibition at the Railway Street Studios as part of the OutThere Collective on the theme of Solitude.
