Dunedin-based freelance rock photographer Roger
Grauwmeijer has been involved in the local music industry since 1978 as
a performer (synthesist), mechanist, lighting technician and
photographer. Roger is a life member and past President of the Dunedin
Musicians’ Club. Film prices eventually put a halt to the photography until the advent of the high resolution digital SLR. Roger is now back with a vengeance taking every opportunity to capture local and touring acts.
Roger is well versed in the etiquette of live gig photography. Wearing dark clothing, all photographs are taken without the use of a flash and, where a back-stage pass is issued, he ensures there is no obstruction to performers, technicians, luminaries and other onstage paraphernalia. Roger's services are FREE (under the Creative Commons licensing program) but band merchandise or drinks are gratefully accepted as koha.
Roger utilises professional Canon kit and always shoots in camera raw format so as to have the greatest flexibility for post-production. Generally, unless requested otherwise, images are provided in full resolution 16-bit RGB colour and B&W JPEG formats. All images are tagged with IPTC metadata that contains information about the event and copyright information. This data should not be removed from the images.
