Francis Ciccarelli of The Casket & Pinkerton Thugs

I am a songwriter/musician from the Central Mass area known as The Casket. I’ve been in the “scene” for the better part of a decade in one form or another, and I have worked with quite a few photographers on different projects over the years. Most have been decent in one or two areas, but it wasn’t until I met Johnny at a show he was shooting and saw his work that I was absolutely blown away.

Of course there are plenty of photographers who have a good eye and, with the right equipment, can get a few good shots. However, with Johnny, not only is the finished product second to none (and I MEAN it, I’ll take the Pepsi challenge on that any day) but working with him is an absolute wonder. By now I’m sure it seems like I’m just blowing smoke, but this is coming from a lifelong artist who has had to work with some real pains in the a*sses and cannot overstate how stress free and downright FUN it was to work with someone so talented yet so easy to get along with. That was worth it’s weight in gold. And speaking of gold...

I almost didn’t believe him when he let me know what his price for a promo shoot was (and actually that it was also the same price as a live shoot as well). I had seen his work, and heard the rate he charged, and almost expected to be hit with about 300% more in the type of “hidden fees” that are typically warned against in cell phone service provider commercials. Nope, no tricks. No scams. Just top-tier photography and almost laughably low rates.

TL;DR - Don’t pass on So Behold This. I can GUARANTEE you will never find better quality work at a better price from a better human being. I for one am not only excited to have Johnny as a part of The Casket’s promotional team, but I’m incredibly honored to be able to count him among my friends.

The Prentiss Family

Working with Johnny was such a wonderful experience. We came to him to have some family pictures done. It can be difficult to get my kids to look at a camera, smile, or stand/sit still. Johnny worked wonderfully with my family, and made the kids feel comfortable. He really captured beautiful memories that I can cherish forever. I highly recommend So Behold This to anyone looking to get quality photos done.

When it comes to looking for a photographer there are certain qualities you look for. You want them to be professional, talented, they have to be mind readers sometimes, they have to be fun, and they have to make you feel comfortable. Johnny was so much fun to work with! The day of our engagement photos we probably had some of the worst weather you could have (aside from freak snow or pouring rain) it was freezing and the wind speeds were atrocious, but he was such a trooper! We had so much fun despite the weather and our pictures came out amazing! Definitely an eye we will be utilizing in the future!

We decided to take a family photo shoot and he was wonderful about everything. It was pretty cold and my daughter was a huge brat, but he worked with it all and gave us amazing pictures! Thank you so much!

Fantastic work. Johnny has honed a craft for sure- from really great textures, to color palette choices, to depth of field. I would highly recommend any musician to get in touch for a shoot!

I had my first Modeling Photoshoot the other day and it was amazing. Not only did Johnny make me feel comfortable and completely relaxed. He was able to capture who I am in the pictures. His skill behind the camera is absolutely insane. If you need your pictures taken and want the best come see Johnny at So Behold This.

Johnny offered me his photography service for a show of mine, and I turned out to be VERY glad that I accepted it! Johnny quickly and non-invasively took a series of beautiful portraits and action shots, and edited and delivered them the next evening. I love his work, and would not hesitate to recommend it!

Johnny’s taken the time for few different designs for me over the years. Everything from basic photography of live events, album covers, logos, etc etc. He does great work for an affordable price and couldn’t be a better guy. Professional and fun. 5/5 would recommend.

It’s always tricky to get teenagers to smile, for real, but Johnny did! For her 13th birthday Johnny met my daughter and I at a great local outdoor venue. His calm yet playful mannerisms put my sensitive daughter at ease. He was able to truly capture her great laugh, her “real” smile! Thanks for a great photography session!
