World-Renowned Photographer JEREMY SAFFER Signs with DYNALITE Dynamic Lighting as Latest VIP

Final East Coast “Capturing Music” Seminar Announced – September 22nd and 23rd in Chicopee, MA

After a busy month of doing shoots with MISS MAY I (this month’s Outburn Magazine cover above), Kerry King of SLAYER, Corey Taylor of SLIPKNOT and more, internationally renowned photographer JEREMY SAFFER has some exciting news to share!

After several years of exclusively using DYNALITE Dynamic Lighting, Jeremy has officially signed with DYNALITE as their latest VIP. Jeremy is known for his striking portrait and live music photography work, often featured in publications stretching from Metal Maniacs Magazine to Outburn Magazine and beyond, with artists ranging from My Chemical Romance to Alice Cooper to Behemoth. Jeremy is currently featured on the front page of the DYNALITE website in celebration of his signing. Check out his profile feature here.

“DYNALITE is proud to announce our newest DYNALITE VIP in JEREMY SAFFER. Jeremy’s work is outstanding and once we talked to him it was an easy decision to have him join the DYNALITE family of VIP’s,” states DYNALITE Inc. National Sales Manager Jim Morton. “His work is on the edgy side of music photography and shows a side of the music world that you normally wouldn’t see. He captures the feeling and emotion of his subjects giving the viewer an insight into their world. Beside his music photography, Jeremy’s portrait work stands alone in capturing his subject’s personality. His understanding of lighting completes the story that his subjects look for in their images.”

“I am both excited and extremely honored to become a part of the DYNALITE VIP team,” comments JEREMY SAFFER. “Since first starting my career, the DYNALITE Jackrabbit kit has been my “go to” light kit for on location, on tour, and even around the studio as it’s perfect for what I need. I can shoot outside in the dead of winter on a frozen lake, or in the middle of a desert under a cloudless sky in over 100 degree weather and DYNALITE never fails to fire with perfect and consistent lighting and color temperature. I have used DYNALITE lighting to create endless amounts of magazine covers, album covers, publicity photos, and editorial images of some of the most prominent touring artists in the music industry today. Everyone from ALICE COOPER, MEGADETH, SLAYER, SLIPKNOT, BEHEMOTH, THE MISFITS, to Robert Englund, Danny Trejo, Gary Busey and countless more have spent time in front of my DYNALITE kit. DYNALITE has proven time and time again to be the best, never-fail lighting that I can always trust to provide perfectly consistent and balanced lighting for anything that finds its way in front of my lens. I am looking forward to continuing creating images using the incredible lighting that DYNALITE products provide and work with them to get the best possible lighting in all future photo shoots.”
