Brent Goldman
“Brent Goldman is a prolific force in music photography.”
- Photographer Tonight
I was born to be a music photographer. I live for live music and started taking pictures at summer camp as a kid and have always had a camera with me since. When I realized I could combine the two, it was like everything suddenly made sense.
I’ve toured with Magic City Hippies and Ripe, and worked directly with amazing artists like Beck, Tame Impala, Noah Kahan, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Brittany Howard, Two Door Cinema Club, The Kooks, Laufey, Goth Babe, First Aid Kit, Mt. Joy, Peach Pit, Ethel Cain, Dashboard Confessional, St Paul and the Broken Bones, The Wombats, Cautious Clay, Gang Of Youths, Lauren Mayberry, The Script, The Boston Pops and Boston Symphony Orchestra, and many more.
Artists like Dua Lipa, Kacey Musgraves, Caroline Polachek, Conan Gray, Beabadoobee, Willow Smith, Jojo, Jack Antonoff and Bleachers, CHVRCHES, Lord Huron, Japanese Breakfast, Genesis Owusu and many more have all featured my work.
My work has been featured on the cover of Pollstar, and in TIME Magazine, SPIN Magazine, The Boston Globe, Boston Magazine, and Premier Guitar Magazine.
I've shot on the festival media team for Beach Road Weekend, Courtney Barnett’s Here and There Festival, and as the house photographer for Bowery Boston, TD Garden in Boston, and Live Nation New England. As press, I’ve shot for publications like Live For Live Music, Pancakes and Whiskey, Following Boston, Melodic Magazine, and Fresh Layers Music.
In 2022, I was nominated for Live Music Photographer of The Year by the Boston Music Awards and I had work awarded the title "Official Selection" in the International Photography Awards 2023.
While I’m based in Boston, I’m happy to travel within New England, across the country, abroad or go to space.
I’m available for tour or one-off bookings, so feel free to shoot me an email.
What My Clients Say
“My greatest fear with Brent is that the music business will come to know his ample talents and spectacular personality and he will become in such high demand, I'll no longer be able to hire him for my acts. He is a true asset to my touring and marketing team, and a great guy as well.”
— Brad Desmond, Manager for Magic City Hippies
“I got so many notes and comments about how great your photos were. I’m handing out your business card over here!! THANK YOU!”
— Lierin Pena, Manager for The Brook and The Bluff
“Brent is amazing. He is incredibly talented, has a great eye and is very dependable. He's also easy to work with, has quick turnarounds and is just an all around good guy. We have hired Brent a handful of times and have loved his work every time and also we've genuinely enjoyed getting to know him. Any chance we get, we'll be bringing Brent on board for our photo needs." — Brittany Durdin, Manager for Emily Wolfe
