Parker West is a Photographer and Creative Director based in Nashville and working around the world.
Parker West began his career in digital media covering Track and Field on a national scale. Working for RunnerSpace.com throughout college, he provided photo, video and social media content at events such as the Olympic Trials, USA Outdoor Track & Field Championships, Nike Cross Country Nationals, New Balance Nationals, and more for five years.
Transferring colleges in 2017 started a life-changing chain of events that found Parker switching his focus from sports to music. He started off taking photos of whatever concerts he could get into, and eventually formed a relationship with dance-pop megastars The Chainsmokers, who gave Parker his first touring experience in November of 2019, where he got to shadow and learn firsthand from Danilo Lewis. Parker has also worked with artists such as Matoma, Chelsea Cutler, A R I Z O N A, Christian French, and more.
Three months after earning his Communications Degree from Ball State University, the COVID-19 Pandemic rocked the music industry, and Parker went out of work for over a year. Parker currently lives in Nashville, Tennessee working as the Community Manager for The Chainsmokers.
