Extreme Closeup

Extreme Closeup

I have been holding back for some time on posting some of my concert photos. I usually need to get permission on many of them to do most anything, but for a number of reasons I am going to go ahead and get some online. I would like to start discussing and upcoming project with my friend Donny Osmond, so I figure at the same time I can start sharing with his fans some of the photos I have taken.

As many readers here know, I have had the unique opportunity to travel with Donny and take many photos over the last several years on a variety of projects. I have thoroughly enjoyed my experiences and am very grateful for everything that has been made possible to me. I have also made mention previously of posting some of these old photos for fans as well over on my SmugMug site, which I still plan to do.

With that in mind, today is a shot taken last week in Salt Lake City and his recent concert. Typically I frame my shots to try and grab some color and background lights, but recently some fans asked that I get more “extreme closeups.” They love to see the detail, and frankly even the sweat. I say ewww, but then I do try to get what the fans like!

So here you go, first of many to come. Thanks again to all the great fans that have supported my efforts and become friends over the years as well. Here’s giving back to you.

Wow thanks for that Jeremy, what a marvelous picture of Donny. I also love the pictures you made in Vegas last March, I was there as well. A Lot of them are shown in the tourbook I bought in Wales at the Donny Comes Home Concert. You’re so lucky to have the opportunity to have worked for person as Donny is. He is such a people person, so kind and I guess a fine person to work for/with.

Thanks again Jeremy……!!!!

Hi Jeremy, it is good to see a new photo of Donny that you have taken. You are a consummate master of the camera, and portraits seem to showcase your talent beautifully. I am a huge fan of Donny’s (and yours :o) ) but I must say I don’t care for the extreme close-up. I much prefer the photos where your subject, especially Donny, is framed by unique lighting, or greenery, such as in an outside shot. Although, having said that, it is hard to take a bad shot of Mr. Donny Osmond, and not many men close to their 50th birthday, could have an extreme close-up photo taken of them and still manage to look like a 30 year old!! I look forward to hearing about the new project that you and Donny are working on.

Jeremy,

Not only do I appreciate the close-up photo-sweat? what sweat?, but I had a great time watching you take photos at the SLC show-yes, I do sometimes take my eyes off Donny!

Jeremy,

Somehow I feel as if I’m repeating myself. Anyway, not only do I appreciate the close-up, but I also had a great time from my seat watching you take photos at the SLC show.
