On the chilly evening of April 6, the historic Aladdin Theater in Portland, Oregon came alive with the electrifying sound of The Veronicas. The anticipation in the air was palpable, especially considering that the Australian duo hadn’t graced Portland’s stage since their last show in 2009– a reunion that had been a decade in the making.

Photographer

Jenny Shackleton (she/her) is a photographer based in Portland, OR, originally hailing from Philadelphia, PA. Her love for live music started over 15 years ago after seeing the Jonas Brothers perform on their Burning Up tour in 2008 and the rest is history. As a naturally shy person, it’s surprising she feels so comfortable at concerts with hundreds of people attending, but has always believed that they are special, somewhat liminal, spaces. Everyone is there for the same reason: to have the best night and see artists pour their souls’ onto the stage. That is what Jenny likes to capture in her photos. Jenny enjoys spending time outside with her partner and their dog, watching movies, and owning way too many sneakers.
