Clarinet Player Meets GQ | Rochester NY Musician Photographer
November 25, 2008So yeah. This is the time of year when I photograph a lot of musicians. Typically instrumentalists, but I have also photographed bands, groups, opera singers, you name it…I’ve probably photographed it. ::grin::
Ran plays the clarinet. And photographs like he belongs on the cover of GQ Magazine. I think he doubted whether or not the images we (my friend Gwyn is up from New England and shot with me today. Fun!) took were going to turn out okay…it’s hard when your photographer(s) ask you to do strange things without really seeing how cool they look — so that’s understandable.
However, after seeing this sneak peek — all doubts should vanish. They are stunning. I am posting one image that I took and one image that Gwyn took (and yes, you have to guess. hint: I suggested “superhero”) …just to show you the variety and coolness we ended up getting.
Sometimes two photographers (and this goes for photographing weddings as well) egg each other on in terms of creativity and idea development — so you get a more interesting, varied and richer product.
I had fun today — I hope Ran did too!

Piano Players are Cool | Rochester NY Musician Photographer
November 24, 2008So. Ms. Dhivya was the coolest person to photograph. I wish I could share her emails — they are hilarious! She has the greatest sense of humor and was just so much fun to work with. She even let me do some night shooting on one of the coldest nights known to man!
We squished ourselves into a tiny practise piano room for photographs — a Tammy challenge! ::grin::
Seriously — we have some AMAZING photographs that I cannot wait to share.
Here’s one of my early favorites:
