Abbey Road Studios’ website has featured an interview with me and 21 of my photos from 11 years of music photography. This year I was honored to win the award for their Zeitgeist category for their first annual Music Photography Awards.

This category tasked photographers with capturing the image that defined music in 2021. The picture that makes you stop. Makes you think. Makes you feel. A visual statement of music the year that will be remembered for generations to come.

SPM Podcast - Chris Suspect Shoots the Insurrection

This past Friday I was a guest on the popular Street Photography Magazine podcast in which host Bob Patterson interviewed me about my experience photographing the Capitol Riot. In this conversation not only do I discuss my experience but I also provide some tips on shooting these kinds of tense situations and whether or not photos from these events should be handed over to law enforcement.

We also talk about my upcoming show at DC's hottest new gallery called Bad Candy which will be up during the month of November into December. And, we went over the process for the making of Beyond the Frame, the short documentary about me and my photography by filmmaker Tim Huynh.

Finally we closed with some details about my upcoming workshop for Day of the Dead in Mexico and I drop some hints about a new book for the end of 2021 from the DC Street Photography Collective.

Chaos at the Capitol - Photographs from Jan. 6th, 2021, Stop the Steal / Save America Rally

Honored to have my photographs featured on LFI - Leica Fotografie International Magazine’s blog for my work during the Stop the Steal / Save America Rally on the National Mall and at the Capitol Building on Jan., 6, 2021. The post also features a brief interview with me about my impressions of the day and what it was like documenting the surreal scene that unfolded before my lens.

The atmosphere was a bit surreal to say the least. Never have I seen anyone storm the Capitol in such a fashion. Some of the things I overheard Trump's supporters say were very telling, and sum up their feelings quite well I think. Many were claiming that this is the start of the next US civil war. A few supporters were in tears over how the Capitol Police treated them that day, and called them traitors to America. At the bitter end of the day, when the police were finally able to disperse the crowd, many were wondering out loud what there is to do now, like they have lost their purpose all of a sudden.
