Who are you?
My name is Scott. I take pictures of bands performing. I'm not that talented, but my camera is.
Where have I seen your work?
My photos have been printed in Alternative Press magazine, and online at Pastepunk.com and Punknews.org .
What kind of camera do you use?
I currently shoot with a Konica Minolta DiMAGE Z2 4.0 Megapixels digital camera, and have been since May 2004. It's been through hell and back and has still held up; I definitely recommend them. Unfortunately, Konica Minolta has left the camera-making business, so I suggest looking on eBay if you're interested in picking one up.
Did you go to school for photography?
No, actually; I've been taking live photography since 1998, using everything from disposable cameras to my mom's 35mm point-and-shoot. As far as I'm concerned, there's nothing a class can teach you that you can't learn at a show through trial and error.
Will you shoot my band live?
If you'd like to hire me to take pictures of your band, please send me a message and we can set something up.
If you have a question, please message me so I can answer it here for everyone! -Scott
