ABOUT
Alix Piorun is a concert, event and travel photographer living in Brooklyn, New York. She got her start in concert photography, initially showcasing concert photos on her own website before shooting over 75 shows for the now-defunct CMJ. Her music photography has appeared in album artwork, DVDs, publications, and promotional materials for various bands, labels and festivals across outlets.
With the closure of CMJ, she moved from photographing concerts to events, documenting the various Brooklyn subcultures she is part of and adjacent to.
Interior Photography
Alix was involved with the Brooklyn Spaces project for five years, documenting independent and underground Brooklyn venues and their events, which was published as a book by Monicelli Press in 2015. She spent a summer riding her moped to photograph the iconic front and back cover images, in addition to almost a third of the 50 spaces. A review remarks on the book’s “enticing photographs of fascinating people and their spaces.”
Alix has also photographed 30 bars and restaurants, including the front cover image, for Secret New York: Hidden Bars and Restaurants by Jonglez Publishing (2023), with an updated version and more photos being published in 2024.
