MADISON MACDOWELL PHOTOGRAPHY
about me
At 8 years old, I was gifted my first ever camera by my parents. It was a light blue Canon PowerShot and it kickstarted my passion for photography. I began taking photography seriously back in 2017, when I was gifted a Canon Rebel T6 for Christmas.
In Summer of 2022, I graduated with my Bachelor's in the Music and Entertainment Business at Ferris State University. Through this program, I have grown tenfold as a photographer and as a person. Through Ferris, I've been given many opportunities to shoot small shows, like MEBA's Save Our Stages fundraisers and their Rock at Hemlock concert. On March 30th of 2022, I shot the country band LANCO, as they came to Ferris through Entertainment Unlimited, the campus programming board.
I have also been a contributing photographer for Audiotree Presents, a booking company out of Detroit, MI. With AP, I have had the amazing opportunity to photograph Free Throw, the Fever Haze, and Amigo the Devil just to name a few. AP eventually dissolved in the fall of 2022 and I have been freelancing since.
I am now the current band photographer for the Grand Rapids Pop Punk band American Cheese and love photographing the punk scene.
