Photography is Light

Posted November 30th, 2010 by Kevin with 1 Comment

Photography is all about capturing light. I love light, which is essentially color our eyes see. I think I see it differently than most and look for it constantly. I’m not talking about looking for the presence of light but instead I look for how light reflects, illuminates a scene, colors the room or frames a subject. I live my life through a viewfinder seeking the perfect light.



Dynamics of a Concert Photo

Posted November 23rd, 2010 by Kevin with No Comments

Some of my favorite photographs I’ve ever taken were of musicians performing live in concert. To me, there is no more dynamic of a venue to photograph. It is by far the most difficult and technically challenging assignment I’ve come across and, well, the most rewarding.

I have had the great fortune to photograph some incredible bands over the years. They all have their own dynamic that forces me to adapt on the fly and pull off some feats of incredible balance and camera control. To achieve stunning shots like I have taken requires some really good equipment, mad negotiation skills, the ability to compose a shot of a really fast moving subject in near darkness and, sometimes, balls the size of coconuts.



The curtain closed with Bret Michaels

My last photo gig, here in Florida, was  last Friday and it really couldn’t have been a better final job. One of the biggest names in rock n roll and a pioneer of glam rock band Poison, Bret Michaels ROCKED the Swamp club. I feel fortunate to have had the opportunity to have photographed some great bands over the last year and a half and to close the curtain with such a huge rock star made me one hell of a happy photographer.



Rock N Roll is here again…

On Monday night the rock band Chevelle brought down the house with their three piece band that sounds like a rock n roll orchestra. First off let me say I am a huge hard rock fan and second I really like Chevelle. So this was a special treat to be able to photograph the show. This is the first band I’ve photographed that I was a fan of first.



Corey Smith / Tyler Reeve Concert

Posted March 16th, 2010 by Kevin with No Comments

I was fortunate to photograph the Corey Smith concert at the Swamp Club on Sunday night. His opening band was Tyler Reeve from Atlanta Georgia and together they really kicked off the spring break here. The house was packed from wall to wall with spring breakers screaming the lyrics and blowing off steam while on vacation here in Destin.
