The Crew
Tara
Host + CreatorPhotographer, storyteller, and the voice behind Girls in the Pit. Tara started GITP after a moment in a photo pit, looking across and seeing other women holding cameras. That spark became a mission. Rooted in the Denver live music scene and running her own photography practice, Tara Lens Media, she brings the stories, photos, and community energy that shape Girls in the Pit.
Ryan
ProducerProducer, filmmaker, and one of Tara’s oldest friends. They met in ski club at UC Davis, and once you can tame 80 drunk college students at a mountain resort, you can pretty much do anything. Same city, same creative wavelength. The collaboration was inevitable.
