THE ART OF JANET MACOSKA

If rock and roll has been the soundtrack of your life, photojournalist Janet Macoska has provided many of the visuals. Since 1974, Janet Macoska has been capturing rock's greatest on film…and now in pixels (digital). Among the publications who have used her photos are Rolling Stone, People, US, Vogue, American Photo, Creem, 16, Teen Beat, MOJO, NY Times , and London Times . VH1, Bravo and A&E regularly uses Macoska's vast rock archive in their “rockumentaries.” Her work is in the permanent collection of The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum, The National Portrait Gallery in London and in Hard Rock Café restaurants, hotels and casinos all around the planet. David Bowie, Led Zeppelin, The Clash, AC/DC, and The Kinks are just some of the artists who have used her work on their cds.

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum presented a retrospective exhibition of her photography in 2003 and 2004 entitled “It's Only Rock and Roll.”

Presently, Macoska is primary photographer for The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and also shoots freelance for corporate and music clients. She is Brand Manager and Archivist for the Ray Charles Marketing Group. Macoska edited and conducted interviews for the Genesis Publications limited edition volume on Ray Charles entitled Yes Indeed . In 2008, Jews Rock: A Celebration of Rock and Roll's Jewish Heritage, a hardcover coffee-table book of Macoska's photography was published by ArtVision Exhibitions.

"In any live performance situation my goal is to totally zone in on the performer and get into a rhythm, follow them, anticipate and snap the photo in the moment - because if you think about it, you've missed the shot. It's that fast...you have to react in 1/60th of a second or less. Michael Jackson was truly one of the most exciting performances I've ever seen, in total command of the stage. So good I went back the next night just to watch and enjoy his show as a spectator - something I very rarely do." - Janet Macoska

All prints are gelatin silver, titled, dated, and signed by the photographer.
