Hey everyone,
Back in Boston for a while now. Not really traveling anywhere for a month or two. I’ll be showing a lot of photographs from large format film in the coming weeks etc. Also, I have a lot of musicians/bands coming up that I’m photographing which should be exciting to see!
stay tuned
Also! Check out my friend’s music blog! http://www.thetranzmission.com/
I did a shoot today out in Sudbury, MA for my friend Tyler. Tyler is a great drummer, and I hear he writes good lyrics as well. He’s endorsed by SJC Custom Drums, which is actually based out of Massachusetts. We wanted to do a few locations, but due to the snow and other things we stuck to just two locations around his house. Here are a few shots… sorry about the watermarks. These were lit with 2 Alienbee AB800’s with various modifiers or bare strobes depending.
You can see a few more on my website here… http://scotteisenphotography.smugmug.com/People/Tyler/
Hey Everyone…I’m currently down in Mississippi visiting family and working on a project. Should have some updates here soon. Maybe…It’s a different world down here definitely. Fun though.
Well one of my good friends from college, Tyler, is not just an epic drummer but is also an endorsed artist from SJC Custom Drums. They make some of the coolest, and best sounding kits on the market. Tyler introduced me to the owner at one of the shows I’ve covered. Anyways, last night there was a big show at Lincoln Sudbury High-School and it was ended with a SJC drum off. Also, Convey played. I had never heard them live but I had heard some great things about them. Everyone in that band is so damn friendly and they’re going to make it big some day. I’m supposed to be doing some promo shots for them sometime soon. Here are the shots

Hey everyone… So apart from my explosion in the music photography industry I’m also still working on other genres of photography. I’m currently in the planning stages of a project I am calling “Coming Home.” The name may change, but I’m not sure yet. This is a very meaningful project and I’m still confused on the direction I’m going to go with it. It’ll probably become natural when I’m shooting it though.
When I was born, I was put up for adoption. I was born in Jackson, Mississippi. Luckily, when I was around 13, my family found my birth family and we have been in constant contact as well as somewhat frequent visitings either here or down south in Mississippi. I have not visited my birth family down south for quite a bit unfortunately. Come January 2nd, I am flying back “home.”
My project is going to be shot both digitally as well with a large format 4×5 camera. I want to document everything I see and find interesting. It’s such a different world than living here in Boston. The people are different, as is the culture. I’m also going down south with one of my closest friends who has never been to Mississippi. I have a feeling this will help me because he’ll be just as interested in the place as I am. Hopefully I’ll have a mix of portraits, scenics, and maybe even some abstracts? Probably not. Hah.
At the same time I’m down south I’ll be visiting my family who I haven’t seen in a very long time. This trip is going to be great, and I can’t wait to get going on this new project. Check back for updates on it!
Well I’m shooting again tonight at the House of Blues. This time for a major publication. Just got my tickets via FedEx and Columbia/Sony Records packaged them so nicely for me! Thanks guys!
Happy Thanksgiving everyone. I have been out and shooting as always. I shot a box of 4×5 film, and I also shot some digital today.
There is an annual bonfire in the town next to mine, Hull, every year. I haven’t shot it before so I went out earlier today, and shot some photos of the wood before the fire. I also went out and shot the actual burning as well. Enjoy…
Well I always seem to get myself into strange places/situations. Pretty much every day. Anyways, whenever I go to visit my parents, I take a commuter train. The conductor of the train is best friends with my boss which is always good. I’ve had many cool opportunities such as checking out inside the locomotive, taking photos and stuff like that. Tonight I was in a train car that was completely empty, and I used that to my advantage and took some photos.
I’m starting my blog over again. I was originally using this for my “Daily Photo Project,” but that whole thing got quite messed up in the month of September/October. I will now be using this blog for updates on big projects, show openings, things pertaining to life, and whatever else I feel like posting. Sorry to anyone who was following the previous project.
