Rock Photographer Nick Busco Featured at Santa Monica Airport ArtWalk on March 16th!
The photography of NIck Busco will be featured in the Santa Monica Airport Artwalk. Nick has led a fascinating life touring with world-renowned rock stars. While on tour, he has captured incredible images of classic rock stars.
He started his professional career in college, where his roommate ran a ticket agency for concerts. This allowed him free access to many of the most sought after shows. He recalls, “I learned so much just by shooting rock concerts. I ended up working for a rock and roll lighting company in Somerville, Mass. – Tom Field Associates.”
While on the road, Nick had the good fortune of inside access, which allowed him to take up close and personal photos of stars such as Freddie Mercury, Bonnie Raitt, Tom Petty, Rod Stewart and more.
To this day, he still looks for that perfect shot and continues to photograph performers. His most recent project was photographing Toots, from Toots and the Maytals. “Toots was doing an acoustic set at the Belly-up, in Solana Beach…His manager, my old roommate from college, asked me to come on down and take a few shots. They are using previous images of Toots for promotions, on this tour that were taken at the drum circle in Venice back in 2010,” says Nick. Yamaha Music division will be using some of the photos from that show at the Belly-up for their promotions.
Busco has graciously agreed to donate work benefit for Oakgrove, a non-profit based at Venice High School. Hosted by Trunk Gallery, Busco has donated one of his photographs for the silent art auction to benefit Oakgrove, a human relations retreat program based at Venice High School.
