Band Photographers Memphis Nashville
Band Photographers Memphis Nashville
Band photographers Memphis Nashville. Michael Allen's been in the music recording industry for many years, one of his first loves is live concert photography. I've been fortunate as a commercial photographer to be paid to shoot for some of the most celebrated performers in the world. I still have a bucket list of people that I want to shoot, but already having a portfolio with names like Dierks Bentley, Justin Timberlake, Lauren Alaina, The Guess Who, Moon Taxi to name a few. I get calls from across the country to photograph both band photos, head shots, ad agency layouts, editorials for musicians, entertainers, live concerts and studio sessions. There are a lot of photographers out there, I don't want to sound egotistical, but my work sets me apart from most other typical concert photographers. Capturing the raw emotions of a song, waiting for just the right light, or creating just the right light is vital. Being versatile with the camera, and knowing what lens to use and when are vital. Using available light is key, but there are times with off camera flash mounted to truss 100 feet away supplements the mood of a critical shot during a song. Most photographers choke when it comes to breaking the rules. Here's one of my favorite artists and personal friend. Drew Holcomb and some of my Live Concert Photography recently in Memphis. Michael Allen is the go to photographer for agencies, record companies and promotional companies in the Southern United States. His award winning style helps him create a pretty amazing client list! You also can't be shy, and when the stage manager says no photography during or after a certain segment, well thats one rule I break often. When I explain that I'm being paid to get the shot, then the manager usually backs down, especially when the client or sponsor is paying the big bucks for a professional photographer. Backstage, during soundcheck, and portrait sessions one on one with the lead singer are vital to my shooting style. I've brought in full studio lighting kits just to shoot backstage for ad campaign photos. I only shoot concerts when I'm being paid or on assignment. Only a few times do I shoot for the fun of it, I use those times to experiment and push the limits of my style.
