There is perhaps no greater joy in life than making music.
My name is Paul, and I have been involved in the music business in Nashville almost since I arrived here in the winter of 1994.
And I have been a photographer for much longer than that.
In the past several years, I’ve started to combine these two personal passions, music and photography. I’ve been carrying my cameras into all manner of clubs and venues, from the tiniest neighborhood pub to the great downtown arenas.
What I’ve discovered is that I’ve got some knack for capturing the magic of making music, sometimes under the most difficult of photographic conditions. Regardless of the dim lighting or the crush of the crowds, I can usually get in sync with the performers and capture those fleeting moments when the transcendence of their performance flashes across their face.
Here are some examples of what I can do:
“You captured exactly how I feel when I’m playing.” — John Knowles
“You’re the only photographer who’s ever caught me smiling on stage!” — Pete Huttlinger
“That’s the best picture anybody has ever taken of me singing.” — Amber White
“Paul has a stunning photography collection and I am proud to be part of it.” — Sally Barris
I get really memorable photos
as well.
— something to keep in mind as you’re designing your next release or website.
