Rukes

RUKES

Location: Everywhere and nowhere (according to his Twitter)
Rukes calls himself "the #1 DJ (Photographer)," and we'd have to agree, except without the parentheses, and "DJ" would be optional. It would be impossible to have a conversation about music photography without bringing up RUKES. People started to notice him from photos he took as official concert photographer for Deadmau5 (hence the "Everywhere and nowhere" — he's always on the road), but since then he's photographed Avicii, Skrillex, Kaskade, Swedish House Mafia, Afrojack, and more at historic concerts, raves, and festivals. If there's anyone who's expertly documenting the takeover of electronic dance music worldwide, it's RUKES.

Zoe Mcconnell

 I have chosen to use Zoe Mcconnell representative of ERA photographers for my artist because she photographs for both fashion and music and has included some of my favourite artists in her work, I love her work and how well she has managed to capture all of the images to such a high quality.
I love the style of photos that Zoe takes.

Zoe McConnell is a former page 3 model and current photographer from London, England.
McConnell branched out into photography, having learned a great deal from her time in front of the lens. Her work specialises in character studies and well-lit portraits conveying a sense of intimacy. Her photography has also appeared in magazines including Maxim, Front, and FHM.

McConnell had a cameo appearance in the movie Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo. She appeared on a charity episode of The Weakest Link featuring other models, losing out to Jakki Degg.[3] She is known for inspiring the song "Zoe 25" from the album 13th Star by Fish former frontman of Marillion.
