Niles Fuller, long-time noted photographer
on the Austin music scene, specializes in large-format, studio portraiture.
Niles is frequently seen club-hopping in the Austin area, listening
and looking for bands he likes. He doesn't necessarily photograph
the most famous -- just the groups or individuals whose music he likes.
Some example portraits:

occassion of their 6th anniversary of playing Jovita's Cantina, in wonderful
