“My career has blessed me with opportunities not only to meet and photograph inspiring people, but also to capture amazing moments of time and place.” - Ed Rode, Photographer and Artist

Sometimes you only get a handful of seconds to capture the essence of a subject. Case in point: Dhani Harrison at the mother church, the Ryman Auditorium.
This was ten years ago during Dylan Fest in May 2016. Dhani, the son of the legendary George Harrison, gave me just a few minutes of his time onstage in an empty room. In documentary work, that split-second window is all you get to dial in the camera, find that dramatic, cinematic light, and frame the shot. It’s these fleeting, unscripted moments with iconic storytellers and players that remind me why I’ve spent the last 3 decades doing this. When the window opens, you have to be ready to shoot.

Happy Birthday to my friend, the one and only Tommy Emmanuel! 🎸
From capturing you catching air in front of a roaring crowd to those quiet, soulful moments with a guitar in hand, it is always an absolute privilege to have my lens focused on such an iconic talent. You redefine what it means to be a true CGP every single time you play. Wishing you a year ahead filled with as much joy and energy as you bring to the stage! 📸✨

Some days you just need to wander and let the lens dictate the story. Lately, I’ve been drawn to the contrasting textures and tempos around us. It’s the sharp glass of the skyline against the weathered stone of our history. It’s the sweet, meticulous layers of a perfect dessert and the raw, unpolished grit of a smoky bar or a forgotten camper in the trees. It’s the quiet pause watching a plane cross a sunset, right before the street level comes alive with a rhythm of its own. Just a collection of moments, shapes, and characters that caught my eye. 📸

Looking ahead to Keith Urban’s new album and to seeing him light up CMA Fest this year.
His “Summer Breeze” performance on the AMAs last night felt like a love letter to those ’70s yacht rock songs and the writers who built them, as much as a preview of Flow State.
This shot goes back, but it’s why I love pointing a camera at him: full energy, zero coasting.

You never know what visual treasures you’ll find wandering through recording studios on Music Row. I loved the character of this setup at Oceanway Nashville—a classic Rhodes Mark II topped with an intricate elephant. It’s these quiet, unexpected details that give Nashville’s historic recording spaces their magic. 🐘🎹📸

A few frames from my latest shoot with Amy Grant. Every time I work with her I’m reminded why she’s still so loved.
She’s generous, creative, easy to collaborate with, and always brings something real to the room.

This project felt special. Her new album, The Me That Remains, marks her first album in 13 years, and it’s been great seeing these images become part of the campaign.

Really proud to see my photo in the new PEOPLE spread and grateful to have had a small part in helping tell this chapter of the story.
Congrats Amy.

Backstage light has a way of telling the truth before the shutter ever clicks.Quick portraits with during the Recording Academy Nashville Chapter’s Block Party festivities. I loved the way the light wrapped around the hat, the glasses, the moment. Simple setup, strong frame, real presence.
Sammy is doing something fresh with his Country Latino sound, bringing Latin rhythm into classic Nashville storytelling in a way that feels natural and true.
Check out his latest music. He’s got a voice, a look, and a lane all his own.
