YourProofItHappened.com (commonly abbreviated as YPIH.) is a website centered around party and nightlife photography. The style of the shots is a mix of guerilla, paparrazzi-like images, typically of young adults. With its roots in the L.A. scene, it was created by Markus A. Eliance, an American producer, photographer, blogger and entrepreneur.
History
editThe photo-blog YourProofItHappened.com went active in September 2009.[1]
Description
editThe site mainly focuses on candid close-ups of clubgoers, showcasing the nightlife of Los Angeles and other major metro cities[2]. As the site has gained popularity (along with a boost in profile for Eliance), there has been a shift of focus in recent months to music photography[3][4], featuring major-label as well as independent artists. Some of the more notable artists featured on the site include Kid Cudi and Kanye West[5][6], pop band Sugar Ray[7][8], folk-rocker Poe[9], and Michael Monroe of Hanoi Rocks[10].
