Chris Casella Photographer I am a photographer specializing in portrait and music. Worldwide syndication by RetnaUK and on the current roster of photographers with DITLO, LLC.

Chris Casella's inherent knowledge of rock stars and what makes them move the way they do becomes legion through his emotion-and motion-filled magical shots. His access into their moments on stage seems improbable, and yet there he is, capturing that moment of quiet intensity under the hot lights. Chris's particulars demonstrate that the entertainment world is catching on. Born in Erie, PA, Casell

a is a 1993 graduate of the Columbus College of Art and Design. He has worked and continues to work with major magazine such as Revolver (Slash, Corey Taylor of Slipknot, Disturbed in the recording studio), Guitar World and Time Magazine. Other clients include Velvet Hammer Management, BWR PR, Volcom Records and Vagrant/Swami Records. Chris has also been tour photographer with Year Long Disaster and has shot Taproot's Long Road Home CD and publicity images for the RIP CD/DVD from Rocket From The Crypt. His charming shots of the metal gods are also featured in this writer's book Judas Priest: Heavy Metal Painkillers. Accessible yet pulsing with concerns of art, Casella's photos quietly exude class of composition and technique that is as rock solid as his resume of top acts covered and covered well. Plush, lush, and effortlessly professional, the work is quietly finding its way into all major print purveyors of pop culture. Chris is available for travel assignments and welcomes the opportunity to capture through his canny eye, new places and faces. The end result will invariably rock. Martin Popoff

I can’t remember the last show I went to as a fan. What a good show last night from . Only brought my x100v so as to enjoy the music and not get wrapped up in shooting. Might have to do more of this, it’s been a while.

My pal, awe inspiring photographer, all around solid guy with a great sense of humor, , captured this photo of me sometime in the middle of 56,609 step or 26.5 miles of walking over four days dressed in show black and a mask in near 90 degree heat last week. It was great being able to share some of those miles with him and the rest of the crew. Next year should be just as killer because of the people that I get to work with. Looking forward to it already.

“I am the son, and the heir…” Morrissey still carries himself with swagger and bravado. Opening his set with How Soon Is Now was a good way to set the tone for his performance last Thursday.
