Christie Goodwin: Music Photography - It's Not About You

SheClicks Women in Photography

Send us a text

Christie Goodwin is a music photographer who has photographed a huge number of bands. She started photography at a young age using her father's film camera and studied photography in art school because she felt she wasn't suited for technical school.

Her first experience of music photography was shooting a friend's covers band, and when someone sent her images to the manager of Status Quo, he hired her to photograph the band.
Although she has struggled with imposter syndrome and faced challenges as a female photographer, Christie has always persevered and built her confidence and portfolio. She enjoys capturing the passion and creativity of musicians, and recommends embracing the conditions you're given rather than fighting them.
