About

Smile for Camera is your source for music news, exclusive artist interviews, and club/party/concert photos for the Eastern United States. We are based out of Orlando, FL, and have correspondents spanning the East Coast, with occasional featured guest photographers from all over the world.

Founded by photographer/graphic designer, Kevin Collier (kcoll) and writer, Melanie Gapany (mgap) in 2008, Smile for Camera was created to capture the excitement, energy, and personality of the most connected generation, hard at play.

Smile for Camera has become more than just a website to download photos from. Our proximity to the scenes we cover has given us the opportunity to present our readers with music from new and emerging artists, to invite our friends, fans and supporters to events we help coordinate, and to bring exposure to important causes such as Habitat for Humanity.
