Jodie Ponto is a Canadian photographer who is digging her fingers in deep to the grass roots of the independent music scene. Inspired by the raw, intense, and fleeting moments that are so often found in live music, she specializes in available light concert photography and has developed an extensive photoblog documenting tours, festivals, and the on and off stage antics of musicians across Canada and beyond. Keeping with her grassroots spirit, her work features up and coming musicians right alongside the likes of Corb Lund, Fred Eaglesmith, Josh Ritter, and Sarah Harmer.

When not overdosing on music she can be found traipsing about various reaches of the globe with her camera in tow, documenting the seasonal beauty of her home & native British Columbia, and making her brains scrambled by spending hours upon hours creating prints in a poorly ventilated darkroom.
