DJ AM at Mansion on June 2, 2006

Miami Beach, FL – August 28, 2012 – It’s hard to believe that it has been three years since Adam Goldstein aka DJ AM has passed away. I was lucky enough to capture one of the greatest DJs on the planet starting from the first time I photographed him at Mynt on December 28, 2003 to the last time I shot him at the Fontainebleau in 2009. No matter what the venue or who was in the crowd, there was always an amazing vibe when AM played. My photos of him were spread everywhere due to his high celebrity profile and his long lasting relationship with Nicole Richie. He was friends with everyone from Travis Barker to Wilmer Valderrama and he fit in perfectly with the local Miami crowd who will never forget how he affected the South Beach scene. From Miami to LA and everywhere in between, I captured some amazing, candid, and priceless footage of one of the best DJs that has ever graced us with his presence. I can only wonder, where EDM would be today if DJ AM was still around?
