Hey, I'm Karalyn!

I am a live music and portrait photographer, videographer, and artist currently based in Syracuse, New York. For the past eight years, I have focused on documenting the music scene and people regardless of genre, race, sexuality, or gender identity. I am always looking to expand and work with more individuals both in and out of the music industry.

In December 2022, I graduated from the State University of New York At Fredonia (SUNY Fredonia) with a Bachelor of Science in Music Industry and a minor in Visual Arts & New Media (focus on graphic design and photography). 

From 2022 to 2024, I worked with the bicoastal pop rock band Fernway. We went out on tour a few times and I assisted with social media, show booking, and other tasks as needed. I have also toured with Sunday Morning, Another One Down!, and Sleave.

I am the owner of For The Punks, a music/art magazine and resource for fans and creators to connect and grow together. I established this website in August of 2019. 

To contact me, email karalynhope@gmail.com. I am open to opportunities in the photo/video world along with social media, merchandise, vip, and tour management.
