Dunedin-based freelance rock photographer Roger Grauwmeijer has been involved in the local music industry since 1978 as a performer (synthesist), mechanist, lighting technician and photographer. Roger is a life member and past President of the Dunedin Musicians’ Club.
Film prices eventually put a halt to the photography until the advent of the high resolution digital SLR. Roger is now back with a vengeance taking every opportunity to capture local and touring acts.
Roger is well versed in the etiquette of live gig photography. Wearing dark clothing, all photographs are taken without the use of a flash and, where a back-stage pass is issued, he ensures there is no obstruction to performers, technicians, luminaries and other onstage paraphernalia. Health and safety guidelines are strictly adhered to at all times.
Among the artists in Roger’s portfolio are Slayer, Mastodon, Hard-Ons, Sleater-Kinney, Strung Out, Bouncing Souls, Die! Die! Die!, Henry Rollins, State of Integrity, and several major NZ and Dunedin artists. Examples of Roger’s work can be found on RokPx.com
