Hi there!
I’m Caitlyn Ridenour, a traveling freelance photographer based in New Orleans, Louisiana.
I specialize in creating visually compelling stories that capture the essence of live music, events, portraits, and corporate photography, with a strong focus on experiential marketing and brand-driven projects.
Live music photography is where my passion shines. The energy of the crowd and the rhythm of the music inspire me to capture electrifying moments that make performances unforgettable. My expertise in low-light and tricky lighting situations ensures rich, atmospheric images, even in the most challenging environments. From dimly lit venues to fast-paced, high-energy events, I thrive in dynamic settings and excel at capturing those fleeting moments.
When it comes to experiential marketing and brand-focused photography, I thrive on showcasing what makes each brand unique. From product launches and cocktail tastings to immersive activations and corporate events, I have collaborated with brands to highlight their most impactful moments. My goal is to deliver imagery that not only reflects the creativity and atmosphere of your event but also strengthens your brand's identity and leaves a lasting impression on your audience.
I understand the importance of professionalism and attention to detail, especially when working with larger clients. Whether you’re hosting a convention, corporate retreat, or experiential activation, I capture every critical moment—from keynote speakers and team-building activities to branded installations and candid interactions—ensuring your vision is brought to life through powerful imagery.
Portraiture is another area I excel in, focusing on telling authentic stories through each image. Whether for professional headshots, branding campaigns, or creative concepts, I aim to highlight the unique qualities that define each subject.
To ensure a seamless experience, I leverage the latest technology for efficient post-production and fast delivery, so you receive high-quality images on schedule. I am fully insured, providing peace of mind for all projects, and I’m available to travel for events, no matter where your vision takes place.
My style is bold, colorful, and candid. I love experimenting with light, shadows, and dynamic compositions to create images that leave a memorable impact—whether capturing the raw energy of a live performance, the polished sophistication of a corporate event, or the intricate details of a brand activation.

(Just a note: I like to be transparent—this "About Me" was written with the help of ChatGPT because I express myself better through images than through writing!)
