I have recently been photographing live music acts at a great spot in Chester, NY named Bodles Opera House.    Here is the response from one of the musicians from a recent show…

Live Music Photography

Whenever I get the opportunity to work with other artists, I get excited.  I just worked with a  great group of musicians called Sharp 9.

They needed a band photo for publicity.  I met the leader through a good friend who thought we would work well together.  Boy, was she right!!

I asked the leader to try to describe the feel he wanted with this image.  Here is what he said:   “Emotional, Artistic, seductive undertone, captivating, reconnection with memories, dreams, desires, actualized or not, passionate,confident, assertive, I want to grab people deep in their soul, I want them to surrender to the excitement of their own dreams. maybe people them to reignite them. rekindle their own passion. To engage them in a journey from what was, to what they hoped it would be, to what it still could be.”

I had to do the shoot before a rehearsal in one of the band member’s basement.  Very little space, ELEVEN people, challenging lighting.  I had a vision in my head of what I wanted to do, and….it worked!

This is what he said after seeing the result:

Devin is the consummate professional. A true artist and visionary, his work speaks for itself. He is more than deserving of my highest praise and gratitude.

I have had the opportunity to work with some very well known people over the past 18 months.

As a result, I have made several connections that will help me to continue offering my portrait skills into the celebrity/athlete arena.

In addition to the quality of photography, one thing that truly sets me apart from others is my respect for the privacy of people who need it. I never mention the names of my clients on the website or any other public forum, and I never post images that are intended to be private. I have a confidentiality contract that protects the interests of people who need assurance of privacy.

A couple of people are working with me as agents, helping me to connect further into the market.

I am actively looking to meet and network with agents, publicists, managers, and others interested in creating mutually beneficial arrangements.
