Bio "Brooklyn photographer Santiago Felipe has the best job in the world: He gets stage access to Madonna, parties with Björk, attends soirees at the MOMA, chills out with Calle 13, and then rubs our faces in it. We live vicariously through his spectacular images, which have been seen on Stereogum.com and in the pages of Spinand the Voice, among others. His new exhibit, The End Is the Beginning, features images shot at Brooklyn's Sugarland, using its infamous graffiti wall as a colorful backdrop. Known for its all-night parties, Sugarland brings out the most colorful characters for its art performances, karaoke, drag shows, and the like." - Araceli Cruz/The Village Voice

I've come a long way and it's been quite a struggle. But, as I look back at my work, especially my recent pieces—the articles and photos I’ve published, the community that’s supported me, and networks I've created along the way, I know it’s all been worth it.

I started at seventeen, going to shows with my 35mm film camera. Music photography had been nothing more than a hobby back then. I came to the field for the sheer enjoyment of photographing artists that I loved listening to, as an extension of being a fan of their music and creating memories for myself. That has since evolved into a career where I work and hang out with artists, collaborating and participating in the process. Lately, I've been branching out, seeking performers and dancers as muses to fuel my own creativity and exercise my own creative vision.
