Photos I took of Nine Inch Nails' Tension 2013 tour, which was running 10 years ago this month. I also served as art director for the tour’s extensive visual design, working with lighting director Roy Bennett and production company Moment Factory (our team from the 2008 Lights in the Sky tour). Tension was the third full original stage production we designed/executed in 2013 (following the How to Destroy Angels live show and the NIN 2013 festival production), and its unique challenges damn year killed us (watch the Vevo behind-the-scenes feature for some insights into the creation of Tension), but we pulled off quite a spectacle both visually and musically.

If you enjoy these looks back at my work with NIN, consider supporting me on Patreon, where I share tons of behind-the-scenes design insights including song-by-song tour production commentaries. Plus frequent exclusive hi-res wallpaper packs, downloads, events, contests, and an awesome fan community. Direct fan support is what keeps me going as an independent creator, and it means the world to me.
