Photography for bands

I have been photographing a lot of bands for the new Rams Head Center Stage at Maryland Live Casino.  Recently Bret Michaels from the band Poison played to a sold out crowd.   It was a fun night and I think I shot some great images.  Photography for bands.  All images copyright Amy Jones.

Event Photography

This last month has been filled with mostly event photography.  One of my regular jobs is with Rams Head Center Stage.  I was lucky enough to photograph The Fabulous Thunderbirds last night!  They were amazing to watch and of course, sounded great.  If you haven’t been to Rams Head Center Stage at MD Live Casino…check it out!

Event Photography Bucknell University

This past week was filled with events at Bucknell University.  Homecoming at Bucknell involved so many different activities that needed two of us to cover all the event photography.  They had BBQ’s for staff, a huge Gala, a memorial service for a beloved professor and a wonderful arts evening of various performers.  Feats Inc. built an amazing tent and covered the buildings in lights to make the gala night extra dramatic in photos.

Book jacket cover photography

Recently I had an opportunity to do another photography session for an author.  Kim Cabill has her first book coming out very soon and needed book jacket cover photography to add the finishing touches to the project.   What a pleasure to photograph this lovely, interesting woman.  Look for “Burdens to Blessings” out soon!

New Moon Theater

New Moon Theater came to my studio today.  They take their “on location” stage to schools, libraries, summer camps…you name it!  They perform to kids all over Maryland.  I am amazed at what they can do with a few boxes of props, some gorgeous hand painted backdrops, enthusiasm and a whole lot of talent.   Julie and Tom organize and run this wonderful theater and introduced me to Nora, their lovely new actress.  These photos will be used on brochures, on their website and on postcards to advertise their new shows for the upcoming season.

Dance Company- commercial photography

I recently photographed the talented dancers at CCBC.  The director liked it so much they chose to use it on a poster to advertise their dance company.  I am often asked if I photoshopped all these folks together-nope- they were all just leaping at the same time.  Commercial photography can challenging particularly in these very low light situations.

Corporate event photography: Princeton Hospital

Princeton NJ has a new hospital.  To call it beautiful and state-of-the-art doesn’t do it justice!  I was lucky enough to spend a few days with the architects, donors, doctors and new employees while they celebrated it’s opening.  Feats Inc did an amazing job with this event.

Gypsy Vintage

I recently shot with the ladies of Gyspy Vintage.  These creative ladies find, re-purpose and sell antiques.  Their inventory is amazing!  I love the shots- thanks Lisa Jones-Butz for the great hair and Gina Bateman for the makeup.  We also used some amazing jewelry and hair pieces from Rae Beth Designs.
