Chris Casella Photographer

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
