Damien!

Ok, let's take a break from the music shots and meet Damien! This super-cutie let me take his pictures yesterday. His dad is a basketball coach, so we had to incorporate some of that, of course. Turns out, Damien is a natural...I predict he'll be modeling somewhere down the line. I really didn't have to do too much, other than chase him around, to get some really great shots of this future heartbreaker! Enjoy!

Of course, dad didn't want to be in any of the shots, but I just couldn't help myself on the last two! Damien was tuckered out after looking so cute for so long, so dad had to come to the rescue!

Hope you enjoyed them,

Luv,

Angie

Actual Proof

So, today's pics are of this awesome group, Actual Proof. These pics are also from the May 9th Wonder Artist's Showcase, but I just gave them their own post, because they are that awesome! (Yup, I used awesome twice in two sentences! That's how....awesome...they are!)

This is Sundown...

and this is Enigma.

These guys are not only amazingly talented artists, they are also GREAT performers! I highly recommend seeing them! They will be at the artists showcase at the Brewery this month also! (See the last post for more info).

Luv,

Angie

Ok...now we're getting to some old pics...9th Wonder Artist's Showcase (May!)

So, now we're getting to the old pics...the pics I had time to shoot over the past few months (or...uh...even further back than that!) but didn't have time to post, with working and finishing up graduate school! So, let's just forget about the fact that these are super old by now, and focus on the fact that they're awesome! Oh, and by the way, just to give you a little glimpse into how I see myself as a photographer...me thinking these pics are awesome really doesn't have anything to do with my photographic ability. I see my job as recognizing awesomeness and having really good timing (or just taking TONS of pictures)! So, if I get a good shot, it really has nothing to do with me, and everything to do with the awesome folks that I take pictures of! So, thanks guys!

Ok, back to these pictures...so, 9th Wonder has a monthly showcase here in Raleigh at The Brewery, highlighting the local artists signed to his label. These pics are from the May showcase (ok, so these aren't THAT old...but believe me, it'll get worse! I promise!).

Here's Kourvosier and his DJ (sorry, didn't catch his name!)

K Hill

Khrysis (secretly, one of my favorite performers to photograph. well, guess it's not secret now!)

Rapsody making grown men get the smitten face! I love it!

Sean Boog

 and last but not least, Tom Hardy

I hope you enjoy these pics, and leave me some FEEDBACK! But more importantly, I hope you get to experience performances by these awesome folk! This month's showcase is at The Brewery on Hillsborough Street in Raleigh on July 23...and it's only a $5 cover! Come experience the awesomeness all for yourself.

Luv,

Angie

Oh, PS, these are NOT all the performers! Big Remo missed this month, but I'll be posting some pics of him from another performance in a few days. And Act Proof, my favorites (wait, I don't have favorites...wink wink) are getting their very own blog post next week, because they gave me so many amazing pics!

More Yelawolf....This time, in Wilmington!

So, these are from my last set (sniff, sniff) of pictures of Yelawolf performing. This was an amazing performance, yet again, despite the fact that it was about 125,000 degrees in this venue, the performers had to fight through the WAYYY too packed crowd all the way from the back to get up on stage, and the stage was super tiny, and carpeted (who ever decided to put carpet down on a stage--not a good idea. I personally witnessed Wiz spit on that carpet a good 3 or 4 times, and I imagine he's not the only person to ever do it! EW!). I imagine that's why most people were shirtless for most of their sets during this show--which I'm totally ok with (I'm a sucker for photographing anyone tattooed!). So, enjoy!

This might be my favorite: Wiz performing "Ink my whole body I don't give a ______" while both of them strip off their shirts. I'll admit it, I live vicariously through other's tattoos!

As always, please feel free to leave feedback! I love it!

Luv,

Angie
