GIG PIX COMMERCIAL

Sean Laffey's GIG PIX

BOOK A PHOTO SHOOT Over the past five years I have built up a large stock of photographs of unsigned bands and solo artists . And I can tell you that photography is the poor relation when it comes to band work, thousands of Euro are spent on recording, but very few artists take the trouble to spend just a small amount on excellent graphics. How many CD Covers are made up from old family photos? Too many. Your music needs something better and I believe I can supply you with high quality images without breaking the bank. Why are few live shots ever used? You play out of your skin throw all sorts of shapes, but nothing gets into print? Why? It's pantomime, look behind you? Clutter and rubbish on the stage makes you look unprofessional, solution?

Where you can please specify a plain (preferably black) back cloth on any stage.

Remember too the photography of sponsors logos may incur an additional and often large license fee.



Payment should be made in advance , at the start of a photo shoot is acceptable, no images will be handed over until full payment is made.
