Frozen {Fine Art Friday}

I love my job. I love working and photographing musicians. I love writing about music. I love my portrait work and being able to help my clients see the beauty of themselves and their love. I love documenting everyday life, whether its a rockstar or a family. I love that my photography takes me around the world. I guess I’m just a huge lovefest. but sometimes, I need to create artwork that is just for me. no client. no expectations. I present the first of the monthly series of Fine Art. The last Friday of each month will feature one of my fine art pieces.

FROZEN

Durham_chapel_hill_north_carolina_fine_art_family_photography

I spent a week being trapped by snow in Seattle. Cold, white, wet snow. At first it was fun and exciting. Then it moved to feeling trapped and bored.

I’m part of a small group of professional photographers who are committed to exploring and showcasing their own fine art photography. You should hop over to Holly Christine of The Enchanted Photo | Central Utah Photographer to view her Fine Art showcase.

Evan - This would make a cool album cover.

Mike - I am drawn to the peacefulness and moodiness of this. I’m used to seeing your music and band stuff but obviously you are multidimensional. Keep showing more of this type of work!

Amanda Eller - This definitely gives you that solemn and tranquil feel. Great shot!

Jodi - Such a great photo Leigh-Anne. One of my faves for sure!!

January 27, 2012 - 1:12 pm

K.Burns - Girl, you know I’m a fan. My heart sings to see you showing your fine art stuff again. It’s been awhile since you’ve done a show. We need to talk about that, huh? Is that London show going to happen? If not, consider a spring show here. I know you could fill the small gallery, but you should see the new gallery as well. Email me or I’ll have to track you down and stalk you lol. Seriously. Still have the same agent?

evie - I love this image, it absolutely expresses how I feel about snow! It’s stark, moody, and beautiful!!

January 27, 2012 - 4:03 pm

Justin - Wait. What? You were in Seattle and didn’t let me know? Seriously, were you doing sessions? Or even seeing friends? I’m still on your wait/want list, right? Ok ok so I suppose you were busy and only in town for some super select, fun as hell, top secret celebrity bash or something (still, I’m always available to accompany ;) ). Next time. I still owe you a drink, or, seven. Nice shot by the way.

Polly - This is beautiful Leighanne. I almost feel like I can make something out in that fog but not quite there. It is calm and haunting at the same time. great work.

January 28, 2012 - 12:39 am

Amy Shertzer - Calm and haunting. . . Polly nailed it! It’s beautiful, too, and I just want to keep looking and looking and looking at.

January 28, 2012 - 11:26 am

Kay Pickens - I just love this. The stillness. The mood. The color tone. Very peaceful…or lonely…Im not sure which.

February 11, 2012 - 1:33 am

Rachel - The symmetry and architecture of this shot is so great. It’s peaceful.

Cut Copy [live photos]

north carolina music photography cut copy

Australian dance-rockers Cut Copy got the audience hot and sweaty, or rather, even more sweaty. After a long day of oppressive heat, the well dressed band bound on stage to get the festival-goers bouncing and energized. They gave a high volume, high octane performance.

Janet Roggy - hot hot hot! love these guys!

December 11, 2011 - 12:49 am

Leslie - They’re so cute! I wish I was there and I love your pictures.

December 13, 2011 - 2:50 pm

Donna Sag - perfect! the picture on the drum kit is awesome.

December 14, 2011 - 6:50 pm

Thomas - Awesome shots.

December 18, 2011 - 6:06 pm

GaT - they look like they’re out of a J Crew catalog. Great shots.

December 19, 2011 - 8:53 am

Sally - they were great

Deerhunter [Live photos]

Durham_North_Carolina_concert_photographer_Deerhunter

What can I say, Deerhunter just keep getting better and better. Their set was one of the best sets of the whole pitchfork Music Festival.

They’ve come a long way from the first time I caught them live several years ago (5, maybe?), when Brandon lost his voice, the sound gear quite working, and it was one of the worst, most painful gigs ever, to a crowd of maybe 50 people (maybe). Fast forward to Pitchfork Music Festival 2011 and I’d say they were one of the highlights of the festival. They killed it. Best I’ve ever heard them. Despite the oppressive heat and the sun glaring in their eyes their whole set.
