How did you get into photography?

My grandparents bought me a Kodak Instamatic camera for Christmas when I was 9 or 10 years old.  From there it’s been an obsession!  In my early years I travel the US and the Far East photographing my travels.

How did you start photographing concerts?

My concert photography journey began when I attended a show featuring Blue Oyster Cult, Black Oak, and Cheap Trick. The experience left me in awe, and I was inspired to bring my camera to my next concert. This happened to be Queen’s News of the World tour, where I had the privilege of capturing photographs of the iconic Freddie Mercury and Brian May. Since that day in 1977, I have been refining my concert photography skills., primarily in large arenas and stadiums. Throughout my career, I have had the pleasure of photographing numerous talented artists, such as Van Halen, Bad Company, John Denver, The Moody Blues, Chuck Berry, Ted Nugent, Triumph, Yes, and many others.
 

Do you have any formal training?

Following my years of formal art education, I ventured into the realm of photography to further develop my artistic skills. I have received extensive training in advanced commercial and environmental portraiture photography, advanced composition, and photographic business. In addition, I hold two college degrees – one in photojournalism and the other in computer information systems. This academic background has enabled me to expand my expertise in commercial and environmental portraiture photography, advanced composition, and photographic business practices.

What camera equipment do you use?

Currently we use several Nikon DSLR’s and a Nikon P6000 as our main cameras and a series of different lenses.  In the Studio for our YouTube Channel we use a Sony ZV-E10 and a Panasonic/Leica DMC-FH25. In the past I have used Olympus and Petri film cameras for my early work.

Where are located?

We are located deep in the heart of the Dallas / Ft. Worth Metroplex, Texas USA. Robert C. Maxfield II Photography is part of Southwest Graphic Arts Co. and has been registered with the County of Dallas Texas for over 40 years.
