Chapman Baehler

I wasn't sure what to make my journal about this week, so I decided to just find a portrait photographer who's work I found interesting. I came across Chapman Baehler, who mostly photographs bands/singers. (Some musicians he's photographed include: Iggy Pop, Nine Inch Nails, Kelly Clarkson, John Mayer, Nickleback, Korn, Green Day, My Chemical Romance, Alanis Morissette, Hootie and the Blowfish, and Rascal Flatts.) I really enjoy his work, not only because they're great photographs with interesting colors and compositions, but because he actually goes outside to shoot his subjects. I normally don't like staying in a studio because I get bored way too easily with it, so I thought it was interesting to find a photographer who also likes to go out to shoot.



BEHEADED!!!!! lol XD





(Ok, so this last one isn't a musician, but I just love this image. I love the girl's pose because it makes her look really young and playful and I love the way her dress is hanging. I also like the vignetting, the old-looking house, and the dark, neutral tones, because of how it makes the mood seem a bit creepier and more dream-like.
Also, I included this one just to show something he's done that WASN'T of a famous band/singer.)
