Instagram Takeover: Jon Gaffney

  • July 13, 2015

@thevanman DOES #INSPIREDBYSOUND TAKEOVER, JUly 11, 2015

Whenever we can, we have photographers takeover our Instagram page for a weekend to talk music and show how their photography is #InspiredBySound. This past weekend we had Jon Gaffney takeover. See either our feed or below on how music inspires his photography.

Hey everyone, I’m Jon Gaffney aka @thevanman . I’m excited to be taking over the @gradolabs feed for the next few days. I spent the last 10 months traveling the U.S. in a camper van with my girlfriend @she_explores and shooting as much as I could. Music was a constant companion for us. This summer finds us enjoying New England and the lakes of Maine. The sounds of lakes are summer to me. Cry of the loon, laughs around a campfire, the rumble of a boat engine. For music I always love some Vampire Weekend to get things started. What sounds and songs mean summer to you? #inspiredbysound

While traveling the country, Oregon grabbed hold of us. Being from New England, it felt instantly familiar but on a whole different scale. The landscape was constantly inspiring, and we spent days driving down the coast stopping to snap photos and being blown away by the scale of it all. Each turn a new opportunity. When I think back to that drive the Head and the Heart’s “Down in the valley” always accompanies the slide show in my head. I love how memories and music can be so deeply entwined. #inspiredbysound | by @thevanman

Monday morning means it’s time to crank the tunes and spend a few hours on email maintenance. Daft Punk – Alive 2007 and some cold brew coffee usually gets in the right head space to crank. What music gets you in the groove Monday morning? – Jon Gaffney #inspiredbysound | by @thevanman

It’s been awesome taking over the feed for a few days @gradolabs . I’ll leave you with one of my favorite shots from my road trip and one of my most inspiring songs, “Skeletons” by Yeah Yeah Yeahs. Every time I listen to it the combination of Karen O’s haunting vocals and the building instrumentals get me pumped. They also are one of the best live bands I’ve seen. What’s the best live band you’ve seen? #inspiredbysound | by @thevanman

@a24 asked us to build limited editions for Jonah Hill in honor of his directorial debut Mid90s. We didn’t have time to see it in theaters but heard it’s 👌🏻. (if you’re wondering why it’s Mid 90’s instead of Mid90s it’s because the name changed during production 🤷🏻‍♂️) | #since1953 1K 8
