Jared Miller has been a live music concert photographer since the mid 1980s. His photography goal is to come away with photos that the musicians would say caught their emotions and feelings of performing on stage in a picture. Achieving crisp, colorful, high speed / low light action photography while working with the ever changing, challenging, and unpredictable lighting and physical settings is what motivates Jared’s photography and creativity.
During Covid, concerts were put on hold for almost two years. During this time Jared took an active interest in bird watching around his Fairfield, CT home, which borders 15 acres of Aspetuck Land Trust property. He embarked on the creative goal of capturing in high-speed photographs the beauty of these local birds in flight, with their complex wing structures and cheerful personalities. And as a result, has opened a whole new world of photography for him to pursue.
With concerts, photographers have a very limited amount of time to do their work and is therefore rushed and hectic, while trying to anticipate motion and facial expressions. Birds allow for the opposite reality and as a result the anticipation of motion of each of the species of birds requires lots of patience.
