ABOUT THE PHOTOGRAPHER! My name is Jess McDermott. I am an amateur photographer from North-Eastern Connecticut and I specialize in Concert Photography. I am going to use this site as a link to my photography for bands and art appreciators alike. I will be posting the dates of shows that I will be photographing at, so check them out. I have been taking pictures of bands for about two years but I have only been satisfied with the outcome quality recently. I really enjoy what I do and I seem to learn more with each and every picture that I take. Be sure to check out the amazing bands that I have photographed as well as the wonderful photographers who are my greatest inspirations. Feel free to send me a message here, an E-Mail at [email protected] or an instant message. My AIM S/N is Trigger Flamenco. See you around!
BOOKING INFORMATION! If you or someone you know is in a band and would like to have me take some solid photographs of their live performance, be sure to send me a message on this Myspace. I am also interested in starting to do some promo pictures so if you are interested, hit me up as well.
Some things you might like to know: I USE FLASH, so be prepared...
If possible I would like to get into your band's show for free.
I usually turn out anywhere from 15-20 decent pictures that I will send your band as soon as I upload and resize them
The photos that I send your band will be branded with my name & copyright unless we make arrangements before hand
If your band decides to USE the pictures I take for a personal website (eg. Myspace, Your Official Page)you MUST give me credit. You may use either Jess McDermott or October Water Photography in doing so.
If your band wishes to use the photos I take for anything other than a non personal website (eg. Flyer, CD, Magazine) please ask me first. I will not say no, I just like to know where my photos are going. I will also send you unbranded versions of higher resolution.
Courtesy and compassion on the part of the band is always appreciated :-D I will probably not work with your band if you are unkind to me
What you see is what you get. There are plenty of examples on my page to give you a taste of the level that my photography is at. I am an amateur, but I hope to sharpen my skills greatly over the next few years. If lighting is sufficient, the photos I take of your band will never be of less quality than those that you see on my page and FlickR account.
