About Art Meripol
Represented Artist
Art Meripol developed a deep interest in live concert photography while attending college in the early 70's. After college Art worked days as a photojournalist and nights pursuing his love of live music shooting at venues from small clubs to arenas. Art's photos reflect a fan's viewpoint, albeit one with better access, with the goal of creating an iconic image of each artist. Since the late 80's he has worked as a travel photographer, averaging 140 nights a year on the road. His work, from music to travel to politics, has been published in books, newspapers and magazines worldwide.
“I visited the market several weekends that fall of 1974...The whole shoot was for Andrew's (Kilgore) class. I do remember being a bit intimidated in approaching strangers to shoot. I think the ability to approach people you don't know with a camera is a learned skill, and this was a great early lesson for me... Looking back I think my instincts were pretty good in what I chose. They really do capture a place in time." (Fayetteville Flyer, 2015)
