Hello and welcome to onelouderphoto.com - a publication of music photography by Christopher (Chris) Owyoung.

I’m an NYC based photographer specializing in live music and event coverage.

In the fall of 2006, a magazine in my hometown of Saint Louis, Missouri needed coverage of CMJ. Not knowing what I was getting into, I volunteered. 5 days and 20 bands later, I was dead tired and I was hooked.

As an artist and music lover, concert photography is the synergistic combination of my interests and talents. By focusing on technical rigor and exact composition, my goal is to capture iconic moments in music with tangible clarity. With every band I shoot, I strive to create a portrait of the artist that enables fans and critics alike to experience the music long after the final note has faded.

If you're trying to contact me for assignment or commission, please check the information section of the site.
