Towards the end of 2020 I worked with Singer/Songwriter Matt Jackson on photographs for his new EP album GROWTH 101.

I got to pour potting soil all over his face and stick plants into his mouth. It was a fantastic session for a fantastic guy and a really excellent grouping of songs that Matt wrote.

Read about our session after the cut:

I’ve known Liz Simmons for close to a decade. When it was time to create images for her newest album release with her band Low Lily, she got in touch.

Lacy Kay • Musician Session for Hot Mess

December 05, 2016 in Album Design, Band and Musicians, Head Shots, Music, Photography, Portraits, Promotional

I've been developing a relationship with the band HOT MESS over the months, and they were so happy with the work we've done so far that when a new member of the band came into the mix, Jason, the head of Hot Mess, contacted me asking if we could create some new head shots for Lacy, but he also needed one other thing: he wanted a photograph of Lacy in the style of the group shot we did months ago so that she could be inserted into the group photo we had taken months before.

Let's give it a shot.

Tim Paul Weiner

Ladies and gentlemen, meet Tim Paul Weiner.

Tim is a bass player, employee of Berklee College of Music, and member of HOT MESS. Remember them? We also have a mutual friend, Elise MacDonald, former owner of Studio 99, who introduced us. Tim liked working with me when we created some images for Hot Mess, so he booked a solo session with me. He needed images for a revamped website. I love working with musicians, and with Tim, it was so easy since we had already worked on the Hot Mess session together.

Fever Pitch • North Main Music

Fever Pitch is an acapella group formed by students of North Main Music. They needed some promotional photography that would be used on their website and for press releases for print, and Mike, the owner of North Main Music brought the gang by the studio one evening so we could create some photography for them. Mike is a great guy, and I'm happy that he's hired me in the past for some of their photography needs.

I wanted to do a simple session on white, so that they could crop or extended the images as needed for posters and other various sized print materials.

Mike grabbed a shot of me while I played human-jenga and positioned the group:

If you get a chance to check them out locally, catch them singing. It's good stuff. And make sure you swing by North Main Music, especially if you are thinking about taking classes, or giving the gift of a class to someone important to you.

Michael Bellar & AS/IS Ensemble

May 06, 2014 in Band and Musicians, Head Shots, Photography, Portraits, Promotional

Over the years I've developed a friendship with Michael Bellar and the boys of the AS/IS Ensemble. I've shot them a few times now. I took some images for Michael the last time they played in Nashua for their upcoming album. The album is still being prepared, but I wanted to share some of these with you all.
