Nabil, Craig Wetherby, Michael “Snapps” Knapp are among the 10 photographers to know right now, according to green-label.com
Green-Label.com has announced its list of “10 Great Music Photographers You Should Know Right Now.”
The site says that the photographers are charged with a difficult task.
“Capturing those fast-moving concert moments, battling it out in the mosh pit for a perfect wide-angle shot, or snapping that money shot of a rapper while dealing with the wrong press credentials are just some of the trials these guys have to put up with,”
the site says.
Nabil, who released the Glow In The Dark 2009 photo-biography about Kanye West’s “Glow In The Dark Tour,” made the list. “When you can make new artists like Iggy Azalea and Frank Ocean look like iconic rock stars who have been in the game for years,” the site says, “it really sets your work on a fitting high pedestal.”
A self-taught photographer born and raised in Brooklyn, Craig Wetherby is also on green-label.com’s list. “His portfolio contains a wide array of concert photos that capture the distinct feeling of each show, including Bad Brains, OutKast, Slayer, and Femi Kuti,” the article says of the photographer who has also photographed Beanie Sigel. “He has also shot amazing behind-the-scenes portraits of some of the industry’s most respected artists like music power couple Santi Gold and Trevor Andrew, and Eminem back in the ‘90s before he was a household name. Wetherby is also responsible for shooting some awesome album artwork for Blackout! 2, the second collaboration between Method Man and Redman.”
Michael “Snapps” Knapp, who has photographed A$AP Mob, Frank Ocean and tour moments with Travi$ Scott, is also included.
