Founder

Hi all! I am Halsey, the founder of Nashville-based publication Almost Famous Magazine! I’ve been photographing professionally since 2018 and go into the live music scene back in 2022. I wanted to create opportunity for others like me, those who didn’t necessarily get that traditional start. Some of my biggest influences are The Beatles, Guns N Roses, Des Rocs, PINK, Greta Van Fleet, and Phil Collins.

Lead Interviewer

I'm Scott Saldinger, a Dallas, TX-based photographer specializing in concerts. I've captured performances across a range of venues, from intimate clubs to massive stadiums and festivals in the US, UK and Europe. Notable artists I've worked with include Smashing Pumpkins, Squeeze, Mike & The Mechanics, Nita Strauss, Mayday Parade, Mondo Cosmo, Meg Meyers, Riverside and many more. Photographing live shows puts me in a state of flow, where the world fades and my creativity thrives.

Photographer

My name is Abigail Gornicki and I'm a Nashville based concert and portrait photographer. I am currently a student at Middle Tennessee State University studying Music Business and Global studies. I grew up just north of Nashville and fell in love with live music from a young age. Since then I have wanted nothing but to be surrounded by music and work in music city! Some of my favorite artists are Taylor Swift, Noah Kahan, Lorde, and the Lumineers. I also love country music, specifically 90s and 2000s country. Outside of music I love to travel and hope to see every corner of the earth one day. I love to experience the world and try my best to live life to the fullest and chase my dreams!!
