I have been an avid music enthusiast for as long as I can remember. Music fills my soul and I receive the greatest pleasure from experiencing instances of musical talent, skill and passion during live performances. Capturing these wondrous moments in my photography is a thrill for me at each and every show. I hope my viewers enjoy my results as much as I love the process. Rebeccawolfphotography.com

I was born and raised in a small coal mining town in Northeast Pennsylvania appropriately named Minersville. I moved to NJ in the early nineties and am currently living in North Jersey. Always had a camera in my hands or nearby since I can remember. Always the one taking pictures at family events or when out and about. Self-taught, but still learning and always looking to improve. I can remember sneaking my point and shoot camera under my skirt for a Van Halen concert at the Spectrum in Philadelphia. Waited 16 ½ hours in line to get tickets for that show back in 1984. Ended up with seventh row and some grainy Eddie pics, but that’s what happens when you must take a quick shot before security sees you and confiscates that said camera (which I still have to this day).
I am a published photographer. Engineer by day, wife, mother, dog mom and photographer all the rest. Currently I am a house photographer for a local venue and shoot private events. It’s great being able to connect with musicians on and off the stage and capture the emotion and special moments in my photography. Rock music is my favorite, but I listen to many genres. Live music, concerts and wildlife are my photography happy places. My only regret is that I wish I would have started this path sooner. But hey – better late than never to do what you love! Glad to be part of the In Focus Visions team!!!

Carly KutsupCarly was born and raised in Garfield, NJ, constantly surrounded by creativity and music as both of her parents are artists themselves. She studied Broadcast Journalism and Journalism in college and worked in NYC for FUSE for a bit before becoming an Audio Visual Teacher for 12 years. When she wasn’t found in the classroom, most of her free time involved creating some form of art, whether it be websites, graphics, editing videos or photography and it still does. Attending live concerts has always been an important part of Carly’s life and she started videoing concerts back when she was in college. After having attended grad school and teaching Photography in Lawrenceville, NJ from 2016-2018, she fell in love with the craft and has made the switch from mostly videography to photography. She currently lives in Toms River, NJ and works as both an Instructional Designer and a Communications Adjunct Professor for the local college. In the evening and on the weekends, she freelances with conducting artist interviews and concert photography.

Kim Palumbo
Kim is a New Jersey-based photographer specializing in concert, portrait, and corporate photography. Her work has been featured in multiple exhibitions across the U.S. and publications such as, Variety, The Courier Post, and Urban Agenda Magazine. She has been a photojournalist for several online music sites including In Focus Visions and Shutter 16 Magazine.
A mild-mannered corporate geek by day; in the evenings she can usually be found in dark clubs and theaters from Philadelphia to Asbury Park lugging around entirely too much camera gear and not nearly enough protective hearing devices. She thrives on the inherent challenges of concert photography and enjoys experiencing the symbiotic relationship between musicians and their fans. For her, it’s not just about listening to the music, but feeling it in her very core. She hopes that her photography conveys this sense of wonder and exuberance.
When she’s not busy writing about herself in the third person, Kim enjoys snuggling with her house panther, Henry “Bear” Rollins, and drinking white wine. She’s passionate about photography, plays well with others, and is just a hoot when she wants to be. Hire her and follow along on all the usual social sites @Backstage_Bettie.

Who am I? Over the years I have learned that I am many things to many people. I’m a Native New Yorker, born and raised in Hell’s Kitchen. By day I’m an executive for a Global Financial Institution and by night I am a Web Consultant/Designer that dabbles in Podcasting. However, my Side Hustle and my HEART is PHOTOGRAPHY! A tarot reader once told me that photography is my footing, it is what keeps me grounded and she was 100% right! I am happiest and fulfilled with a camera in hand capturing moments that inspire, motivate and hopefully generates movement and feeling in you.

I picked up a Kodak Instamatic as an 8-year-old in 1973. Yes, it was all about pressing one button while trying not to fidget, but it opened a door for me. By age nine, I learned how to use my father’s SLR; flash, interchangeable lenses, adjustments galore! It was heaven. After teen years spent shooting for school yearbooks and college years shooting bands, including Bruce Springsteen twice in the 1980’s, inexplicably, I put the camera away.
After buying a simple point-and-shoot for my first European trip in 2008, I started generating some good concert shots, eventually borrowing or renting better equipment. Through a friend, I had a chance to shoot The Gaslight Anthem in 2009. My shots were picked up the next day for a lengthy feature. Following that, I bought my own rig and continued to shoot concerts regularly in Canada, Europe, and the USA.
My pictures have been used in numerous books, magazines, album artwork, artist websites, and online publications. Select high-quality prints are available on my website.
