K.Knipp's photostream

I am a hobby photographer and graphic artist, Nightside Spells Photography is my outlet for my creations and works artistically. I own and run an extreme metal record label and distribution: Diabolist Services www.myspace.com/diabolistsrv , photography and graphic art is something I do on the side mostly for personal enjoyment but I've done a few album covers and I have also photographed various extreme metal bands live.

UPDATE NOTE: I would say however since using Flicker the past year that it is quite a shame most people do not take the time to really view my works. I've gotten mails from ppl both good and bad, what many seem to lack is the comprehension of what I do. I could photograph things/ppl etc.. in a normal manner and clash myself to the mold of trend with the thousand others doing the same exact stuff and really not so well. But that would not make what I do worth the time, nor would it be a true approach towards myself! The best way to explain my works, especially my nature works, is to bring out the finer details in a vision many people never notice and in many cases obscure it into a more depthful emotion and meaning....in other words, enter your mind into a new dimension!

Bands I've captured Live:
Watain (Sweden)
Crucifier (USA)
Merciless Death (USA)
Sacrifical Blood (USA)
Dark Funeral (Sweden)
Nagelfar (Sweden)
Averse Sefira (USA)
Immolation (USA)
Belphegor (Austria)
Rotting Christ (Greece)
Natchmystium (USA)
Testament (USA)
etc...etc...etc...

I now also take live photographs now for Nuclear Blast Records USA promotional department and I'm a contributor for Forgotten Path Magazine (Lithuania)...

I'm starting to use Flicker more now as a means of contact, I guess that has slowly changed, but I am busy and if I do not happen to respond to anyone right away please be patient, a reply will come! If you are a member of Myspace you can view my photography profile at Nightside Spells Photography and friend me there.

My photography is mostly geared towards nature but I take focus on cold, estranged, dreary, etc... feeling with maybe a touch of mystery, maybe a touch of fantasy, in the end it all revolves around emotion and aurora. Many photographs undergo graphic manipulations also, tinting, effects, etc.. in order to create the original vision I have when taking a particular photo....remember I mentioned first paragraph I am also a graphic artist, so it goes hand in hand with photography! In any perspective there is a feeling to be delivered by all visions.
