Whose your dream band to photograph?

Sleep Token or Ghost

Ice nine kills

[@xmonox50]

Shooting Corpsegrinder would make for some awesome motion shots.

[@metalxgoddess]

Motionless In White and Ice Nine Kills

Ice Nine Kills or Motionless in White!

[@LashonEvans216]

A ton of great info packed in this one video. Thank you for sharing these expert tips. Will definitely follow for updates.

[@lensbirdie]

Solid info, Jeremy! Valuable sharing, too many photogs give their knowledge the top secret treatment. (Oh, and loved seeing the Lensbaby shots!

[@jeremysaffer]

thank you so much. I love that Lensbaby lens. so awesome.

[@AliyahDayeVocals]

Love the video! My band shot with Jeremy a few months ago and he was awesome, we appreciated the direction so much and the photos are beautiful! Also as a graphic designer - THANK YOU for shooting a bit wider to give us some flexibility. Although the new photoshop generative expand is a godsend in a pinch, we'd rather have the flexibility to begin with.

Great tips thanks

Would love to shoot bands like Depeche Mode, New Order, O.M.D., R.E.M.

[@SikSh0oter]

Dream artists to shoot: Lamb of God, In Flames, Gaerea, Lenny Kravitz (who's also a decent photographer), The Weeknd, and KMFDM

[@marirn]

Love the tips, only wish it were actually " music", ie on stage. These are great tips for posing/lighting etc, but are not specifically for music.

[@jeremysaffer]

photographing musicians is absolutely quite literally music photography but I do shoot concerts as well and would love to do a top 5 or top 10 tips on concert photography... maybe a future video?

[@BandH]

love that idea
