livebooks success stories

Hew Burney has made a name for himself in America’s sin city as THE photographer covering the thriving Las Vegas club scene. “I try to treat the celebrities I see on a weekly basis like friends I have known for years and make it fun for them to have photos taken by HewBurney.com.”

Hew’s energetic, campy style and subjects are echoed by an over-the-top color palette and choice of graphics. Many design choices, including the pink carpet background and oversized name with placement which runs off the screen on many monitors, were made as a collaboration between Hew and Brandie Mata, one of our dedicated and talented designers, to express to his visitors something about his frenetic shooting style and subject matter.

At liveBooks, we specialize in photographic websites…however, we often work with creative professionals of different types. Jericho Diaz is a Support Specialist here at liveBooks, and he is also an accomplished DJ who established a progressive music collective promoting various artists in his personal network. Beautifully designed and featuring an engaging collection of promotional photos and fliers, modernorganic.org is an artistically inspirational site you’ll want to come back and visit often.

Ryan Mastro is an emerging photographer who works exclusively within the music world. His expansive collection of photographed artists includes world renowned industry names such as Ben Harper, The Police, Dave Matthews, Willie Nelson and Tool.

Ever since Melissa picked up a camera in 2002, she knew capturing world class musicians was her artistic passion. Within months she began her photographic journey by launching an underground fan site Subucni.com, devoted to the rock band Incubus. Since those early days, she has developed close relationships with big name and local bands while managing to stay true to her roots and keep photographing live shows something she remains truly passionate about.

Mike McLaughlin says he is a photographer, historian, anthropologist and sociologist. He feels it is his job to see the world through an unfiltered lens…to bear witness to an ever changing world. Mike says: “It is my hope to share what I see with the world, to make a connection, to evoke an emotion, to inspire a thought”.
