After Hours

Performance Art For more than a decade, Heather Nigro, director of e-commerce for Marissa Collections, captured bands such as Blues Traveler, Widespread Panic and The Allman Brothers Band as they jammed on stage. Nigro, 31, is a concert shutterbug; she’s traveled across the nation on her own dime documenting her favorite bands’ shows.

Often Nigro has mere minutes to capture the performance and only a few seconds to set up each shot. “The best part for me is catching the artist when they’re in that zone and they’re making the connection with their instrument, the music and the audience,” Nigro says.

Her donated photos have appeared on bands’ websites, in Relix Magazine and in a band photo album or two. “I find myself being fueled by passion,” Nigro says. “I’m business by day and beatnik by night.”
