LJ Portnoy

I’m just getting started.


After finding some success with my shots from a Sabrina Carpenter show, I grew the confidence to go for my dreams. Since then, I’m starting to document my journey on YouTube.

I’ve always dreamed of working with musicians. This is my safe space. Freshly re-entering the music scene in metro-Detroit in September of 2024, I’ve never truly been away from crowds.

17 years ago, I started playing my own music, and thereby went to shows constantly. I was always surrounded by something so special, the energy, the fans, the music, the interactions.

It’s the most special place and I want to be a part of it. I love taking photos so I thought this would be the best way to capture everything.
