Do you like photographing bands and musical performers as much as I do? I’d love for you to submit your best examples of this to the About Photography Group.

Some musician friends of mine were in the Big Apple a couple of weeks ago and I had a chance to drop by for their show at The Living Room on the Lower East Side. Suzanna Choffel, Brad Houser, and Kyle Thompson are well-known in the Austin music scene, but what musician can resist an [...]
Whether it’s boudoir or glamour, an editorial shoot, a band publicity photo, or a product shot, when it comes down to it, it’s all really just portraiture to me. When I shot the promotional photos for Andrea Marie & The Magnolia Band, it was probably no surprise to them when I asked the members to [...]

The prize consisted of studio time which helped with the budget I imagine. Meagan’s not one for [...]
Richard Sanguinetti is a big fan of fallen Tejano star, Selena. So much so that he’s written several songs dedicated to her memory. When we shot this, he’d just begun working on a CD project that would to bring these songs together for others to hear. The location was near Stubb’s on Red River in [...]
I’ve always said musicians and actors are the most fun to photograph. Even if they’re naturally shy people, they know how to turn it on and give you what you need for a good shot. Performers will go the distance for you. Seriously, most of the time, they’ll do anything — even if it sounds [...]
