Okay. So I finally have a planner and am putting in events I will be shooting for (provided my car doesn’t blow up and financially ruin me as it has been).

AAOM Fest in June for FM Static Companies
Inkarceration camp out with Traverse the Abyss
KUTZTOWN KARNAGEFEST in October.

I’ve had many events come across my timeline, but I also have the memory of a gold fish so I’ll need reminders. If you have a concert or event going on please share the information or post your flyer in the comments. Or if you’re a band that would like promo photos or even just some updated band shots…we can do that too!

If I have availability or as long as life doesn’t screw me, I’ll shoot for you! And for reasonable prices/trades 👀💰

In a lot of photos, I usually talk about the composition of the photo and why that makes it my favorite photo. The colors, the shadows, the overall vibe…

For this one it’s not so much the composition as it is the subject. Kennie, guitarist for Wilkes-Barre thrash band Cruel Bomb is a ham for the camera. If he notices you snapping a photo he’ll do his best to ensure you get a memorable shot. Usually in a goofy facial expression like what’s pictured.

Yes, it’s a bit under exposed. Settings could’ve been a little different to really make this pop. But at the time, it was a photo that made me laugh. And that’s why it’s my favorite from this series.

Hope to catch the boys again soon and get some photos now that I’ve tightened the screws on my editing a smidge.

Check out the tunes, if you like them, give Cruel Bomb a follow!

Thanks for looking.

I had the distinct pleasure of doing the promotional photos for The Art of Deception ahead of their upcoming single “Glassweight”

The stars aligned perfectly with them winning the promo photo raffle at ReigniteFest 3, them releasing new music AND then welcoming two new members in Ethan and Cris

Everyone was a pleasure to work with and they were very helpful and accommodating to the process. This may have only been my second promo shoot, but I’d rank it as a favorite.

Check out TAoD, listen to the music and if you like what you hear, give them a follow! These guys are doing big things and deserve every ounce of push we as fan can give them.

Thanks for looking!

SURPRISE!!!

So incredibly honored to have a hand in this new chapter for The Art of Deception.

Was a pleasure doing these photos for all of them. Congrats to Ethan and Chris for their new membership!

With that being said…plenty more to come! 👀

It isn’t very often I get a shot of Mike that I feel turns out REALLY good…but this one of him from the Cruel Bomb album release is for sure one of them.

As I have eluded to in previous post, I do love a good black and white photo. But I also love a good “splash of color” photo as well. I know many folks think they’re corny but I feel if they’re done right, they can easily be a standout in a photo series. Doing that with the guitar in this shot is something that I believe puts a nice big bow on an already decent photo. I like how the lighting really honed in on the features of the hands, face and neck of the guitar…and it actually came out mostly clear! I was pretty hyped for that. But that dark red of the guitar draws the eye into the subject. An unintentional edit, but a cool one none the less.

I’m just glad I got a clear one of him lol.

Anyway, give his band Traverse the Abyss a listen and follow if you enjoy!

Thanks for looking.
