Free photography for musicians

Arlington VA

Description

I have been shooting photos for about 40 years and in the past couple of years started shooting large format film photography. Like many, I used the Covid excuse to be kind of lazy. Recently, at a friend's birthday celebration, I met another large format photographer and I am suddenly inspired and ready to get back to work. I am looking for bands/musicians to photograph. As a musician myself I can easily relate to other musicians. The only qualification is that you have to be interesting. Interesting personality, look, and/or music. If you could hit the trifecta that would be great. My work has been used on web sites and CD cover art. Jane Wiedlin of the Go Go's has a photo that I shot on her Myspace page (yes, it still exists...). My tastes range from folky/Americana, punk, indie pop, power pop, etc. If you're outside of those genres and your songs grab me then we can shoot. Ping me and let's start a conversation. I am Mike Ratel on Instagram. Use your turn signals while driving and tip your rideshare driver when you're not.
