Any music photographers here?

[Walter_Rowe]

I wasn't sure which forum was appropriate for this question. This one seemed the closest. I photograph concerts and music artists in addition to shooting stock travel, outdoor, nature and wildlife images. Are there any other concert / music photographers among us here?

Yes,

I run the company behind Rhinegold Publishing - Music, The Arts and Education.

I also do a lot of the specially commissioned photos, but mainly of the 'suits' behind the scenes who run the industry.

Hi Walter,

Music photography is my first love in the field. I do as much of it as I can, although I can safely say I'll never make a living from it - the rewards are nice but they aren't always monetary. I was at the Kix show you photographed in October and remember wishing I'd had my gear - the lighting there is incredible (as is the sound!) and that can make or break a concert. I shoot Nikon and before going digital I couldn't get enough of Fuji NHG-II (and have a pile still left in the veggie drawer of the fridge to prove it.) I have worked with mainly local acts, but occasionally have worked with National acts, although they are in the progressive rock genre and thus not terribly well known outside a certain crowd. My fave job was a concert tour in Germany where my images ended up on the CD and DVD cover for the SF Bay-area band Enchant (ENCHANT - The Oasis - The Official Web Site). Weddings pay for new gear, but there's nothing like a guy tearing up a guitar on a lighted stage --- it truly approaches the unreal! I'd leave a link to my website but it isn't working right now...details! Nice work, by the way!
