About Dakota Winters // shotbyawraith
I document music because it’s the only place I’ve ever truly felt like myself. I wasn’t just drawn to the music industry — I was made for it.
There’s a certain kind of chaos that lives inside rock and metal shows. The sweat, the sound, the split-second moments that feel like they could swallow you whole. That’s where I feel most alive — chasing the flicker in someone’s eye when they see their favorite band for the first time… or the fifteenth.
Every time I shoot a show, I treat it like a milestone — because for me, it is. From The Plot In You to Thrown, Bad Omens to Beartooth, I’ve had the honor of documenting moments for the artists that shaped me. I don’t take that lightly.
Whether it’s on stage, backstage, or in the quiet moments between cities, I’m here to turn your noise into memory — one frame at a time.
