About Concert Updater
Est. 2015
Concert Updater exists for the love of live music and the love of photographers. After years of working on her own, founder Nicolette Cunningham was inspired to provide support and opportunities for other photographers. She launched Concert Updater and set forth to build up a team, giving everyone a chance to succeed. The CU team quickly grew from Southern California to the greater United States and beyond; the rest is history.
We are all united by our love for live music and our passion to share its energy with the world. We are here to answer questions, provide whatever assistance we can, and be your biggest fan. Make sure to say hi if you see us at a show! You can catch us in the pit.

Michelle Riehle-Ludtke

Heavily influenced by Rolling Stone & Alternative Press, Michelle started photographing live music in 2011 in her home state of Wisconsin. She relocated to Los Angeles to pursue her passion for music and has worked in venue marketing at the LA Coliseum & AEG. She has covered artists such as blink-182, Imagine Dragons, Machine Gun Kelly, Kings of Leon, Paramore, Marshmello and more.
