Music Photography – Roadmark

I met up with Andrew from Roadmark online, and we were able to work out a date to do some artist shots for the band. The band had gotten some new members, so they were needing to update their band photos.

We met up in downtown Nashville and wandered around the city, looking for some cool locations. We ended up doing some setups right on the riverfront, in a deserted parking garage and an old alley (near Banker’s Alley, what soon became referred to as “Hepatitis Alley” to poke fun at one of the bandmates that had no shoes on), the corner of 2nd and Broadway (right in front of Hard Rock cafe), and then the Gateway Bridge.

Music Photography – Live at the Rutledge – April 2008

I was invited back to the Rutledge to shoot some performance shots of the bands Four Way Free, Sharif Iman, and Marujah. It was a good evening of music and I ended up getting some cool shots.

I was especially excited because my old buddy Jeremy was going to be on hand performing with his band Marujah. I’d seen them play before but was looking forward to having a chance to take some photos of them.

This is the third session I’ve done at the Rutledge. It’s a cool joint and it’s always nice to see the crowds getting bigger and bigger. If you’d like your band to play at the Rutledge, or for more information on the next upcoming event, check out OgyJoe.com.

Music Photography – Mark Lonsway

I have the honor of being a co-worker of the talented Mark Lonsway. He’s a great singer/songwriter/guitarist specializing in the Rock Country genre.

He’s a very intense and animated individual in real life, so I wanted that to come out in these pictures. The one main shot I had in mind coming into this shoot was him sitting in a mostly-dark room surrounded by a pile of guitars. Mark brought in all the instruments he owns and we started getting it setup.

This is one of those shots where you take a picture, see what you’ve got, then make some minor adjustments until it’s just right. It was a lot of fun and we got several great looking shots. Below is my favorite shot of that series.

We spent most of our time indoors getting the high contrast shots. Once we were satisfied with what we had there, we went downtown to a grungy alley and spent some time there. We ended up with the headshot (above) that I think is the highlight of the session.

It was a lot of fun and I hope to be able to work with Mark again in the future. We’re already discussing some more headshots for his upcoming album since he’s gotten his hair cut since we took these shots.
