Mr. Photogeek Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 I have a friend who wants to get some pictures done of his band for their album that they are recording right now. Anyone have any suggestions for some decent photographers in Toronto? I know I can just look online, but I was hoping for some personal recommendations. Thanks!

TheAlphaNerd Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 I can suggest me... if you like.Although I usually do on set photography and still life.Not really big onto doing huge setups... like using natural light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimoe Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 I know this woman and I think she's a heck of a good rock photographer: http://allisonjanzen.ca/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimoe Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 What's your friend's band's name? Allison said she'll look out for them if they choose to contact her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Photogeek Posted June 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 Wow thanks for all of the recomendations. The band is called Bluespoon, and well they're not really my cup of tea, but they work their asses of so I hope they have some success. I will be forwarding them all of the websites you sent me. I appreciate it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Photogeek Posted June 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 Oh and for the record I was a photographer, but have had a midlife career change. I should probably change my user name to reflect that...something like Mr. PRgeek... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booche Posted June 4, 2009 Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 http://www.bofoto.ca/ Jesus. That makes me want to start a band of ANYTHING!God bless the internet. I cant see this fugger being affordable if you are a band but daaaamn. He's got the profile shots down if that is what you are looking for.Edit to add: (kept looking at pics beyond #15)I would love to see this dude shoot a Phish show. Incredible portfolio. Take your time going through it folks. Hit some ganjandgo. I'm going again because it keeps getting better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewRider Posted June 4, 2009 Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 I'll suggest a girl I used to "date". if your friend's band decides to go with her don't drop my name or I think she'll charge more to cover the cost of her curtains.

Mr. Photogeek Posted June 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 Thanks Newrider...I'll be sure not to drop your name! Although maybe she has forgiven you for the curtains?There is a lot of talent out there...this makes it a little easier to sort it all out.Thanks everyone!

I'm going again because it keeps getting better.Actually, Bo is very affordable and likely free if you are a band and he likes the music.He's taking shots at envelope3/JSB on Friday. Great guy.Not sure why he has loaded all the kid shots at the beginning right now..hes been revamping. His personal portfolio is insane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bouche Posted June 5, 2009 Report Share Posted June 5, 2009 I'll suggest a girl I used to "date". if your friend's band decides to go with her don't drop my name or I think she'll charge more to cover the cost of her curtains. Jessica Blaine Smith Photography for the benefit of all things humorous, please explain why "date" is wrapped in digital air-quotes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
