In this special edition of Maxwell’s Iowa CoffeeCast, “The Weekend Pour,” Maxwell dives deep into the fascinating world of Iowa’s music and concert photography with the legendary Mark Lage. Known for his uncanny ability to capture the raw emotion and energy of live performances, Mark’s work has graced local publications, magazines, and album covers, creating a visual legacy of Iowa’s vibrant music scene.
With a career spanning decades, Mark recounts his journey from acing a single college photography class at Grand View to amassing over 144,000 photos in the last six years alone. He shares how his dual passion for beauty and design, honed during a career as a hairstylist, naturally extended into photography. His unique approach—waiting for the perfect moment and understanding the rhythm of music—sets his images apart, capturing the soul of performers and their craft.
Mark also discusses the challenges of shooting in live settings, from battling obstructive microphones to navigating crowded pits at major festivals like Hinterland. He reminisces about working with local bands like Flipside, as well as his collaborations with cherished Iowa musicians, including The Nadas and Ducharme-Jones Band.
A highlight of the conversation is Mark’s stunning coffee table book, a 302-page masterpiece featuring over 1,000 photos from five years of Iowa music history. He credits international artist and mentor Oyoram and designer Lindsay Murray for inspiring and shaping the project, which captures iconic moments from events like PorchFest and Monday Night Live at xBk.
Available at MarkLagePhoto.com, the book serves as both a tribute to Iowa’s thriving music community and a nostalgic keepsake for fans. With plans to chronicle an entire decade of Iowa music, Mark remains a cornerstone of the state’s artistic culture in his retirement.
This heartfelt episode celebrates the artistry, dedication, and community that make Iowa’s music scene unforgettable.
