Pooneh Ghana is one of the most successful music photographers of her generation. Born in Austin, Texas, she became interested in photography and music as a teenage outcast. Her career began when she was just 17 with Polaroids she would take of local bands. Now, she shoots portraits and live performances of bands such as Gorillaz, Tame Impala and Angel Olsen. When asked what her goals are, Ghana replied; "To keep developing as a photographer, to stay true to myself in this industry, to keep enjoying what I’m doing, and to be able to do this the rest of my life." Ghana inspires me because of her passion and her ability to blaze a trail in an extremely male-dominated field.
