Get to know ajdg photography
Bio
My name is AJ Gardner (they/them), and I am a photographer from the Chicago area. I've been taking photos professionally since 2016 and typically, I work with local bands. However, I also have experience in portrait, event, and artistic photography. I am a performer myself, so I understand the magical feeling of being onstage. I want to be able to capture those wonderful moments for others. A photograph is meant to make a moment last forever, and that is exactly what I strive for with my work.
