Archive for the ‘Photographer of the Month’ Category
July 1st, 2010
Well, anyone hip to the music and band photography world, should probably be at least familiar with Petey Place, and if not, you’re simply not paying attention. Petey has been shooting bands for a few years now, and has developed quite a name in the process. I’m pretty sure that there are not any more bands in the New England area that haven’t worked with Petey, or at least talked to him about it. He is one of the hardest working men in music photography, and another member of 40/60 Photography. Considered a young gun by many, 23 year old Petey lives in Punham, CT but is often on the road to shoot with an assortment of bands residing anywhere from Boston to New York. I’ve known Petey for a while now, and been a huge fan of his work. It was only a matter of time before I named him Photographer of the Month for the month of July.
I was able to get ahold of Petey and sit down and talk with him. Petey and I have known each other for a while now, so it wasn’t long before we started joking around and making a mockery of the interview. Regardless though, I was able to ask a few pretty good questions, and get some great responses from Petey.

I’ve been following this next featured photographer for sometime, an essentially drooling over his ability to produce so many clean, and breathtaking photos. And Alejandro is no new name to the game, with over 4 years of professional experience, Alejandro has been able to tactfully master the art of fashion photography. His ability to create such stellar images with minimal equipment is what first focused my eyes on him, and as I saw more and more of his work, I knew he was one to go on and do big things. Alejandro currently resides in Toronto, Canada, and works for such agencies as EliteModel, Next Models, and Elmer Olsen Models. I’m both proud and honored to be naming Alejandro Photographer of the Month on my website.
I was able to have a chat with Alejandro and talk about some of the work he’s done, as well as some advice on how to produce images at the caliber of his.

We’re in a era where exceptional photography is everywhere, and knowing all the names and faces that are making a constant difference in the industry can be overwhelming. This section is to show off some of the work of others, and highlight some of the people in the industry that encourage me to constantly improve and grow as a photographer. Once a month, I will be showing off the work of someone else in the industry, that I feel is making exceptional creative work. For the month of June, Jose Rosado is the Featured Photographer.
Jose “JoRo” Rosado’s work in the fashion and glamor photography world has been nothing short of incredible. Residing in Philadelphia, Jose has made an impact in the industry, and is now found often working for Import Tuner, Lowrider GIRLS, and Westchester Magazine. Jose has been shooting actively for only 5 years, and is constantly becoming more and more of a contributing member of the fashion industry. With a unique style, Jose is able to achieve in making art that is both eye catching and spewing with talent. As one of the initial member of the photography group 40/60 Photo, he has been able to creative ground breaking pictures, while marketing them as a group as well as for himself, as oppose to just individually. I was able to sit down and ask Jose a few questions about his impact on the photography industry, and what inspires him to create the work he does.
