This was pretty cool to see.

Nice interview Chris!

 Each week, I'll post an interview with someone far more knowledgeable than myself on specific marketing and publicity subjects. This week, rock photographer Christopher Owyoung on classical music clichés, getting the proverbial "perfect shot", and what makes great live music photography.

 

Chris Owyoung is an NYC-based photographer specializing in live music coverage, promotional and event photography. His portfolio includes members of The Metropolitan Opera alongside artists like Erykah Badu, The Cure and Kanye West. His work has been featured in The New York Times, New York Magazine, The Village Voice, Billboard, and this month's issue of Spin. Chris also likes puppies and long walks in the park.

 

How many concerts do you usually shoot per week?
It depends on the season. During the summer, when a lot of bands are touring, I shoot as many as four concerts a week. I probably average four to six bands a week for the entire year.
