I was in search of the photographer who did the incredible artwork on the sleeve of my Flying Lotus Los Angeles vinyl. Guess what? I found the source of said material and I can’t believe I haven’t discovered Timothy Saccenti until now.

Mr. Saccenti is New York based photographer and video director. His specialty is music… like good music… really good music. I was just going through a few of the shots on his website and he’s got quite the client list: Prefuse 73, Bloc Party, El-P, Sparklehorse, Peaches, TV on the Radio, DangerDoom, Fourtet… I could go on but it’s not the name dropping that’s so amazing, it’s that you can see why he gets those names. His imagery is so rich and imaginative yet still retains a simplicity that reinforces the subject.  Now let’s talk music videos. Well there’s a beautiful video for Chairlift – Bruises (yes the iPod song), and the outstanding video for Battles – Atlas.  Enough already. Checkout his reel! More pics & video after le jump.

If you’re in the market for this man’s services you can visit his site.  For music videos, he is represented by Partizan (who looks very interesting in and of themselves). For photography, visit the fine folks at Stem Agency.
