Andy Jillson – Editor & Administrator (Photographer/Writer)

My name is Andy Jillson. I’m a concert photographer, writer, music fanatic, and the editor/administrator of Hazy Eye Media. I’m a self-taught digital photographer and launched Hazy Eye Media in September 2019. I primarily cover shows in DC, MD, VA, and PA; though I do travel to other states on occasion.

I started this online music media outlet to showcase my love of live music and concert photography. I also wanted to provide other aspiring concert photographers with an outlet to showcase their hard work and love of music as well. It’s just that simple.

Jordan August – Past Contributor

My name is Jordan August. I started as a freelance photographer in Philadelphia, PA and currently reside in Pennsylvania, but Baltimore, MD is where I really where I got my start freelancing. I have years of experience shooting a variety of subjects and have never limited myself to one type or genre of photography. In the beginning, concert photography was just a way for me to combine two of my passions, taking photos and music. It was the perfect balance of work and play. That being said, I eventually realized I could make a career out of it.

Now I’ve been given the opportunity and have the ability to expand my portfolio and creative outlets in ways I never thought possible. I’m able to travel all over the country for my clientele. It’s been almost a decade, 500+ concerts, 250+ bands, and countless hours of editing photos, but all my hard work has finally paid off. Jordan August Photography is officially a house hold name in fine art performance photography.
