JEREMY SAFFER

“Jeremy Saffer is one of the first people we've met since we started doing this whole music thing that actually believed in us from the very moment we met him. i consider us very fortunate to have been able to work with someone who is so talented at what he does, and cares so much for the people he calls friends. luckily we are some of them.”
- Jeremy McKinnon – A Day To Remember

“Starting from nothing and making a name for yourself isn't an easy feat, especially in the photography business. Starting from the ground up is something Jeremy accomplished with great success. No act too big or too small, Jeremy puts passion and enthusiasm into all of his subjects and in turn artists love working with him and will always give him time for a shoot.”
- Brandan Schieppati – Bleeding Through

"I still remember the day Jeremy and I shot in an hotel room in Worcester, I was in a bathtub full of black water, and could barely breathe because of the black dye powder in the water itself, we basically trashed the bathroom. I can't remember many other photosessions I’ve done in all these years, in which I had so much fun, and ended up being totally amazed by the final result. The word "talented" absolutely belongs to Mr. Saffer."
- Cristina Scabbia – Lacuna Coil

“I don't know the first thing about photography. Aperture might as well be what you turn up when the room is cold. And I find being the subject of a photo shoot akin to having a root canal - and I've never even had a root canal. Despite my lack of knowledge of photography, and an overall lack of interest in being photographed, if it has to happen, let it be Jeremy Saffer behind the camera. Genuinely a warm and friendly fella, he naturally creates a comfortable working atmosphere, never making you feel like the jerkoff you know you are mugging for the camera. Consistently professional and proactive, but not one to take himself too seriously or ever be opposed to the absurd or tongue-in-cheek photo. Jeremy Saffer's company is truly the only pro in the ocean of cons it is having your picture taken. And from what I hear, he isn't too bad of a photographer either.”
- Matt Fox - Shai Hulud

"A lot of us take pictures, but Jeremy takes photographs. Even though his subjects are some of the biggest icons of rock who are worthy of a thousand words to tell their story, Jeremy says it all in one snap of shutter. Now, that's rock n' roll!"
- David Ellefson - Megadeth

“Having first met Jeremy back in 2001 at the Milwaukee Metal Fest, I’ve had the honor of being witness to the evolution and grand blossoming of his photographic work. Jeremy has been able to visually capture accurate representations of the aural attitude of bands such as DIMMU BORGIR, MESHUGGAH, IN FLAMES, DARKANE, KEEP OF KALESSIN, and many more. This will surely become the first installment of Jeremy’s books, and we’re thrilled that Nuclear Blast artists have been given the opportunity to be included in the first photo book by this obviously talented visual artist who will certainly be noteworthy as a ‘Who’s Who Among American Music/Metal Photographers’ – as if he’s not already!”
- Loana dP Valencia – Nuclear Blast Records

"Jeremy isn't your run of the mill photographer. He is a master of his craft. More "Gorgon" than photographer, his Medusa sighted ability allows him to not just capture life in his images, but the very essence of being and the soul. His art speaks for itself and can be instantly recognized by any enthusiast and critique. This professional is more than a brilliant artist, he is a great friend and peer."
- Ray Chaos – Full Blown Chaos

“Jeremy has been our go to guy when a new terror release is dropping, and has always been there for us. The final product is always on point.”
- Scott Vogel - Terror

"I always thought Jeremy had a knack for taking a subject, enhancing it's surrounding dark elements of foreboding somberness, and translating them into a haunting image of reality... all while still capturing expressions of raw personality and attitude in each individual. With a professional yet personable approach, he is easy to work with, creating a simple ambiance which makes for a truly complimenting and unique composition."
- Lisa Marx - Kittie

"Jeremy has a great way of showing who his subjects really are, his photos speak to me and I admire his work and all that he captures with his lens"
- Jamey Jasta - Hatebreed

“As far as capturing the essence of the band, I think Jeremy nailed it. He knew enough about us to make it look dark and mysterious and not too accessible.”
- Silenoz – Dimmu Borgir

"Jeremy Saffer has shot almost our entire roster of bands throughout the years, and every shoot gets us fantastic photos. Moreover, every band has a great time hanging out with Jeremy as he is a true professional and a real friend to the scene."
- Josh Grabelle – Trustkill Records

"Jeremy has been one of the great rock and metal photographers of the last decade."
- James Hart – Eighteen Visions/Burn Halo

"I've been shot by Jeremy countless times over the last few years, through different bands I've played in, endorsement shoots and even just for the hell of it when I'm passing through. He's always been a top bloke and his work is always top notch and easily definable. Legendary stuff mate!!"
- Jona Weinhofen - bleeding through/i killed the prom queen

“Jeremy was cool to work with right off the bat. His personality shows through so much when he's shooting that he made me feel instantly comfortable in front the camera. It never felt like "work" doing a photoshoot with him because we had so much fun. He always had interesting ideas, crazy weapons and other fun props, and rad stories about my favorite musicians that he had recently worked with. I couldn't help grilling him about the other bands he shoots... he rules for putting up with all my annoying questions!”
- Laura Nichol – light this city

"I've been in front jeremy's lens for years and probably more than most other artists. I think my favorite stuff that jeremy has done is his live work. Jeremy seems to know what the subject is going to do before they do and uses that to capture the live feeling and impact."
- Phil Labonte – All That Remains

“'Over the years Jeremy has shot not only my own band a number of times but he's become a New England staple for Ferret artists photo needs. He always goes the extra mile with the artist and the shots have always come out incredible”
- Carl Severson - Ferret Records

“Jeremy’s work capture artists at their absolute most natural and primal state. We love his live pics as well as all the promo shots he’s done for all of our Nuclear Blast artists!”
- Gerardo Martinez – Nuclear Blast Records

"Jeremy's work brings a touch of class to the otherwise drab and cliché metal/hardcore photo world."
- Scott Crouse – Earth Crisis

"Jeremy is one of the best photographers I've ever met. He's always super eager to make the best images he can and just loves his job. He's truly passionate about what he does and its just rare to find that these days!"
- Aaron “Bubble” Patrick – Bury Your Dead

"As a photographer Jeremy Saffer has been at the forefront of the New England metal scene since I started working with Metal Blade back on 2001. Every time I was in Mass I would see him in the pit taking photos and he would always deliver some of my favorite live shots, not only of my bands but of bands throughout the scene. When it comes to posed shots I was completely impressed by his level of professionalism and the speed at which he was able to set up, get the shots he needed, and then let the band on their way. Something that is always important when a band is running around preparing for a show. Jeremy Saffer is easily one of my favorite photographers to work with and I am still blown away by his dedication to the scene and everyone in it."
- Kelli Malella – Metal Blade Records

"Jeremy Saffer definitely thinks outside the box or the cage, or the dungeon, or whatever else you wanna call it, when it comes to photography. Jeremy Saffer had everything we needed for a photo shoot: a fine selection of hand grenades, machetes, swords, battle axes, and other random medieval weapons. oh, and don't forget the buckets of blood on site. what else could we ask for? Long live Jeremy Saffer"
- Carl Schwartz – First Blood

“Jeremy Saffer is a pleasure to work with and is always eager to take on new assignments. His love for music and photography really shows in his work, and you can count on him to get the job done and do it well--no matter how rough the conditions."
- Octavia Laird – Outburn Magazine

"Saffer is a true artist. He can capture the personality of anyone in front of his lens."
- Shannon Lucas – The Black Dahlia Murder

“I’ve been workin with Jeremy for years now I love this dude for 2 reasons 1 being his work is amazing and also he is real and cares about the punk and hard core community. i also love the fact that with him its not all about the money its about the art and helping friends!”
- Mark Unseen – The Unseen

“When any project I am working on needs photos, choosing Jeremy is always a no-brainer. He has a way of making you feel comfortable in front of the camera without sacrificing his great eye for detail. The passion that he shows during a photo shoot can only be rivaled by the way I feel when I hold a completed project of my own. In a day when anyone can go out and by a digital camera and call himself a "photographer", is it refreshing to see a professional like Jeremy who still believes in pushing himself, his work, and everyone else to capture a true moment.”
- Jay Reason – The Distance

“Jeremy Saffer is one of the most honest, hard working and professional photographers I know. He has built his portfolio up throughout the years through a tireless work ethic and I am very pleased to have had the honor of working with him.”
- George Vallee – Century Media records
