We all keep seeing sick band photos with the Take Notice signature floating around Myspace and Facebook. If you are in a band you might know how difficult it is to get usable, let alone great photos for your websites and what not. That is unless the "Take Notice" guy shows up at your gig. That guy is Brad Dean.Hamilton born, Toronto resident Brad Dean is actually kinda fresh to the photo game, not quite clocking in at 2 years. Impressive because his output is on a level beyond many with 10+ years behind them. Besides living photography and having a little bit of a competitive spark in him, Brad has put in his time as an active, ripping musician himself. His last involvement being one of the founding members of the pre-Authors project, The Smile. Being a ripping drummer/ long practicing musician I believe gives Brad the "leg up" in knowing what to look for when shooting bands. I've followed the work of Scallen, Ball and Kid With Camera, but no one seems to "get it" the way Brad does.
Visit his fan page. No matter who the band is, I get stoked every time there is a new set up.
