EDGAR BARRADAS

A freelance photographer, best known for his ability to convey the adrenaline and raw emotion of the concert experience.  James Hetfield of Metallica, describes the essence of live performance as an exchange of energy between the band and crowd. The magic of this interplay is the heart of Edgar’s work, as he combines the excitement of a diehard music fan with the technical skill of a professional photographer.  

Edgar’s creative journey began in his small town in Mexico and brought him to his current homebase in Los Angeles.  As a true autodidact, he acquired his skill set through curiosity and determination.  He works as a Master Printer for Mixografia, where he collaborates with renowned artists using a unique method to build multi-dimensional pieces.  At Mixografia he has developed a keen eye for detail and exacting standards for his work.  These qualities, combined with talent for capturing the moments of inflection during gigs, attracts a tremendous following.   His presence on social media, distinguished by entertaining quips and commentary, in addition to his art, has amassed a substantial level of engagement. As a result of exposure to such a wide audience, Edgar fields frequent requests to purchase physical copies of his photos.  

Edgar’s good nature and discretion have earned the confidence and comfort of his subjects.  He glides through crowds smoothly, despite his impressive height, blending in to achieve the perspective of fans.  His critical thinking and flexibility enable him to produce incredible images, even in challenging conditions.  His art has graced album covers and promotional materials for bands, and his creativity has been tapped for videos.  Edgar’s complete devotion to the music that moves him set his course as a concert photographer.
