Sterling Hightower

I'm a Milwaukee-born and Chicago-raised photographer with a passion for capturing my favorite artists and musicians. I have had the privilege of working as a house photographer at venues such as The Rave (Milwaukee) and currently at The Salt Shed in Chicago. I also do a lot of freelance work for local publications and social media outlets. Whether it's a portrait or capturing special moments during a live performance, I aim to tell stories through my lens with creativity and precision.
