My Photography
I've photographed countless comedy and theater productions and have been contracted for head shots, cast photos, and performance photography. My pictures have been published in magazines like Punchline Magazine, Time Out Chicago and The Comedians, and grace professional websites and promotional materials of all kinds. Check out a slideshow of some of my favorites below, and read further for a few testimonials from happy clients.
"Elizabeth McQuern is a great and accessible photographer. We hired her for a photography job on very short notice in a less than ideal setting, and she came through with some fantastic shots. She also has a great eye for live performance shots. We look forward to working with her again!"
- Steve Gadlin, Blewt! Productions (whose Impress These Apes was called "hands down the best comedy show in Chicago... euphoric... infectous" by the Chicago Tribune)
"I couldn't be more satisfied with the head shots and promotional and performance photos Elizabeth took of me. She has a unique gift for capturing images that are dynamic and alive, and a comforting demeanor that puts her subject completely at ease. She allowed me to relax and really open myself up to the camera. What resulted were some fantastic pictures! Hire her today while you can still afford her services!"
- Mike Lebovitz, writer, comedian, and producer
"With her camera, Elizabeth is able to truly capture the unique mood of a stand-up show. Her photos put the viewer at the show and beautifully communicate a performer's style and personality on stage. Get Elizabeth at your show and you will have engaging, high resolution, press-ready photos in a flash!"
- Cameron Esposito, comedian and writer
"Countless other comedians and actors would agree with this -- I always feel comfortable when I know Elizabeth is behind the camera. She has a keen eye for composition knows the particulars of all her subjects such that whether she's doing photography, video, or editing, she will show you at your very best."
- Dan Telfer, writer, comedian, playwright, producer
"Elizabeth is a fabulous resource for the creative but clueless, who want to present themselves to the public but don't know how. She can film, edit, write copy, take a great head shot -- everything that makes other people jealous of your press pack, she's got covered. Most importantly, she's great at listening to her clients, so the product turns out even better than they imagined."
- Carrie Callahan, comedian and writer
