Chicago Wedding Photography Family Portrait Photographer | Otto Rascon » Otto Rascon is a Chicago photographer specializing in wedding photography and family portraits.

Hello there and welcome to my blog!

My name is Otto Rascon and thanks for checking out my blog. So why a blog? So glad you asked. My blog allows me to communicate and share more of myself and my images with you. Some may only look at the cool photographs, others may read the story behind the photos.

I am from the awesome city of Chicago and currently live in Joliet. I love photographing people! Seriously, what other profession would allow me to interact with amazing people, provide them with a meaningful product, and allows for some major fun and creativity?

Children grow up so fast and wedding day memories quickly fade only to be remembered by the photos in the album. Capturing fleeting moments is very important to me, that is why I love photographing weddings and families. I love seeing how my photographs enrich and bring color to peoples lives. Stay a while and check out some of my work. Feel free to call me at 773.234.6886 or email me at info[at] ottorascon[dot]com or via the Contact link.

Something A Little Different // Matt Pond PA Show

06.21.2010 Posted in Personal

My friend Todd invited me to the Matt Pond PA show a few weeks back. The band was playing at Lincoln Hall, which is a really cool and intimate venue – a perfect place to see a band like Matt Pond PA. I had never heard of the band, but was won over by a few of the tracks on their site. I love going to live shows, so I was pretty pumped and ready to see, feel, and hear some new music.

It was amazing being so close to the band. I love seeing how the band members interact with each other at live shows, as well as how they communicate and play together. It was a great night all around: I enjoyed some food/drink with some of my favorite people and the bands were amazing. Here are a couple of my favorite photos from the night.

By The Way: I challenged myself to only one lens for this show. I took my nifty-fifty and shot mostly at f/2.0. It was cool seeing how differently I shot the band compared to if I had brought my wide or zoom lens.
