It really feels special to receive an award at Abbey Road, from my peers, for my work documenting the underground scenes. I felt silly writing some thank-you words… but I would have felt even sillier if I hadn’t written any. Thank you so much to the entire team at Abbey Road, the jury and the shortlisting committee for this recognition. Honestly, every one of the finalists was worthy of this prize. To my family and friends and, most importantly, to all the musicians and bands who have let me be a small part of their journey. And to KĀRTËL, a band of immigrant punks in NYC ✖️immigrants, like myself. Some images from a night I’ll be remembering for a very long time. GRACIAS UN MILLÓN ♥️ @abbeyroadmpa @kartelpunk @abbeyroadmpa 29 Sep 2026

Now live! Link in bio @zolajesus DESIRE. I’ve seen Zola Jesus perform live many times in the past. Still, nothing prepared me to see the vulnerability of this piece unfolding as it was performed in front of my camera. It was visceral, personal, and profoundly moving. From that first shoot day, I knew I wanted to complement the live performance with a parallel story: A tale of grief, loss, and the capacity of a catharsis to overcome personal trauma. Thank you to the teams at Sacred Bones and Oblique management for their endless support and thank you Nika for your trust with this unusual project; In making this piece I wanted to capture a unique moment in time that reflects the vulnerability of the music. 🖤 PRODUCTION CREDITS: A.F.

This week we’ll be sharing a series of videos with our 2026 Abbey Road Music Photography Awards winners, filmed moments after they stepped off stage, capturing their raw reactions. We caught up with @afcortes, winner of the Underground Scenes category, to hear the story behind his winning image of the crowd at the @kartelpunk show, what made the photo so special to him, and why following the music you love is key to capturing photographs that truly reflect your passion. 19 Oct 2026

We live in an absurd world. Perhaps an absurd band is exactly what we all need. Grindcore from the Czech Republic. GUTALAX at La Nau, Barcelona. Big thanks to the band and their team for having me! 🖤 Link in bio for the full essay and some dirty pictures. 15 Oct 2026

Fotocopia a few weeks back in Barcelona, as part of Pre-Human at Razzmatazz. A looooooooooong night of insane music. Thank you for having me! 🖤 🎤@fotocopia_____ 📸@afcortes 08 Oct 2026

Honored to be a finalist in the Underground Scenes category. Thank you so much to the jury and the Abbey Road team for recognizing my work! And most importantly, thank you to KĀRTËL Punk for creating killer music that feels so urgent and relevant in these troubling times. ¡GRACIAS! ♥️ 09 Sep 2026

It was great seeing CEREMONY a few months ago in a small venue in Barcelona. It reminded me of shows from the past at Saint Vitus and Mercury Lounge in NYC. I love how their sound keeps evolving from their hardcore roots, something you can hear throughout their fantastic new album, Tell Me Your Dream. Funny story: I shot these photographs the day my kidney stone was discovered. At that point, it wasn’t doing much harm. It was just sitting there, waiting to go ballistic. I had bought the tickets a few days earlier, so when the pain sent me to the ER that afternoon, I packed my camera (as one does when hoping not to miss an amazing band.) They gave me pain medication and released me at 8:15pm with a plan to treat the stone with medicine. The venue was 25 minutes away and on my way home. I checked Instagram: Ceremony at 9 p.m. After an ugly afternoon, I was feeling better, so I said, fuck it… let’s go! I made it at 8:55pm, five minutes before the first song. I elbowed myself to the side of the stage and immediately felt at home. Two weeks later, the freakin’ stone became an asteroid, blocked my ureter, and everything became urgent and crazy. It ruined my summer. This ended up being the only show I was able to attend, despite all my plans. Thankfully, the coast is clear now! And I’ve learned to drink my three liters of water a day and take my health seriously. The hospital handled the pain. Ceremony handled the rest. Fine print: Side effects included nausea, elation, a broken lens, and a few bruises. 🩺🩻🎸🪨 27 Aug 2026

It was one of the best shows I’ve ever been to. That’s not hyperbole. SICK OF IT ALL celebrating their 30th anniversary at Webster Hall TEN YEARS AGO was the culmination of so many things for me. I want to celebrate the life of the most important and influential hardcore singer to me: Lou Koller. Their music, and the photographs of B.J. Papas, were part of the reason I wanted to move to NYC when I was a teenager in Colombia. I discovered SICK OF IT ALL through the Revelation Records compilation New York City Hardcore: The Way It Is, and later their seminal album Blood, Sweat and No Tears. In one of the photographs in this series, Lou is passing me the mic so I can sing along to the final song of the show: Build to Last, a song about reinvention. It feels appropriate for a band that kept reinventing itself with the times while somehow remaining consistent and true to its mission. Thank you, Lou and SICK OF IT ALL, for the music and for memories that will outlast my memory. This year was supposed to be their 40th anniversary show. That didn’t happen. I wanted to go a little older, maybe wiser, but still the same 16-year-old kid who discovered this music while riding his BMX through the streets of Bogotá. I found those records by accident, in the window of a random store that sold headphones. Later that year, I sold my bike. With the money, I bought a little guitar amp. I never looked back. Build to Last. 13 Aug 2026

Very happy to have two images shortlisted for the Abbey Road Music Photography Awards. The first, from a Dead Tooth show on the final night at Our Wicked Lady, just before the venue closed its doors for the last time. The second, the audience in the middle of the chaos at a KARTEL show on abandoned train tracks in Brooklyn. Two very different nights. Both reminders of why I love photographing music and the communities around it. Thank you @abbeyroadmpa for the recognition. 07 Aug 2026

6mm kidney stone. For over a month, it felt like a constant dagger in my lower back. The morning after surgery, the 7 a.m. hospital light hit it just right, and its shadow looked exactly how the pain felt. I missed school pickups and ballet lessons with Antonia. BEAT Supergroup (still my favorite King Crimson era). Cavalera Conspiracy playing my favorite Sepultura album: Chaos A.D. Countless plans. Gone. When this MOFO was finally discovered after an ER visit and a ridiculous amount of pain medication, I somehow still made it to catch Ceremony in a small venue in Barcelona. (I’ll share those photos soon.) Three procedures. One laser beam. A microscopic camera inside my body (still wondering what lens they use 🤷‍♂️). This little asteroid is finally out. Don’t mess with my summer. On the road to recovery. 01 Aug 2026

Survived my first Primavera Sound. Thunderstorms. A cancelled Massive Attack set. Einstürzende Neubauten, 22 years later. Grian Chatten walking onstage at 4 a.m. during the Kneecap set when nobody saw it coming. Lambrini Girls creating total mayhem. Matmos, Knocked Loose, The XX, Merzbow… And a lot more. My credentials didn’t include photo pit access. So I photographed what was happening everywhere else. Full story + photos — link in bio @primavera_sound 18 Jun 2026
