Danny Clinch loves music. He listens to it, plays it, photographs it, and films it. Danny has established himself as one of the premiere photographers of the popular music scene. He has photographed and filmed a wide range of artists, from Johnny Cash to Tupac Shakur, from Bjork to Bruce Springsteen. Danny’s relaxed and warm approach to photography has allowed him to maintain prolonged relationships with artists - such as his 20+ year friendship with Bruce Springsteen, which has resulted in over 8 album covers with Springsteen beginning with “The Rising” up to the recent 2022 release “Only The Strong Survive.”
His work has appeared in publications such as Vanity Fair, Spin, Rolling Stone, GQ, Esquire, The New Yorker, and The New York Times Magazine, and his photographs have appeared on hundred of album covers. As a director, Clinch has received 3 Grammy Award nominations: in 2005 for Bruce Springsteen’s “Devils and Dust” and in 2009 for John Mayer’s “Where The Light Is” and for the Ben Harper and Charlie Musselwhite collaboration short film called “Get Up.” He has also directed music videos and concert films for Willie Nelson, Tom Waits, Pearl Jam, Alabama Shakes, My Morning Jacket, Avett Brothers, Foo Fighters, and Dave Matthews, among others.
