NOTHING MORE

BUILT TO BREAK THE FRAME

Some bands perform for the camera. NOTHING MORE gives the camera something to chase.

I first photographed NOTHING MORE in Dallas in January 2015, and over the years I have continued documenting the band across clubs, theaters, amphitheaters and arenas throughout North Texas. Every time I have photographed them, the scale has changed — but the intensity has not.

Their live show is built around movement, expression and moments that happen fast. Jonny Hawkins never seems interested in simply standing at the microphone, and that constant motion has made NOTHING MORE one of those bands where I am always looking one step ahead, waiting for the split second when everything lines up.

From House of Blues in 2015 to South Side Ballroom in 2026, this archive captures more than a decade of NOTHING MORE through my lens — different stages, different eras and five nights where standing still was never really an option.

THROUGH MY LENS

THE FRACTION BEFORE IMPACT

Photographing NOTHING MORE has always been about anticipation.

There is often a fraction of a second between an ordinary frame and the photograph I am actually waiting for — a body leaving the stage, a hand coming off the microphone, hair cutting through the light, an instrument moving into position or an expression appearing and disappearing almost immediately.

Across five shows and more than a decade, the stages have gotten larger and the production has changed, but that challenge has remained the same.

Strip the photographs down to black and white and those moments become even more obvious. The color disappears. The production falls away. What remains is movement, shape, muscle, expression and light.

The photograph is the instant where all of it stops — even when NOTHING MORE never does.
