Megan Perry Moore

Photographer | Author | Music Essayist

Megan Perry Moore is a Seattle and Los Angeles-based photographer, author, and music essayist with an extensive portfolio documenting acclaimed artists throughout the industry. As a contributor and live photographer for Music Connection Magazine, she delivers vivid concert coverage, deep-dive industry profiles, and recurring columns focused on the technical and creative pulse of the modern music scene (In the Studio and A Song That Changed My Life).

Megan’s professional perspective is informed by a deep history within the studio system, having begun her career at Moir/Marie Entertainment under veteran manager Steve Moir and later serving as Assistant Studio Manager at the legendary NRG Recording Studios. This foundational experience, combined with her work as a publicist for gear companies and producers, allows her to navigate the private creative spaces of artists with a unique technical fluency.

Her career is backed by an extensive editorial history, including photography and features for Rolling Stone, SPIN, Electronic Musician, Guitar Player, and various indie publications. For Alternative Press, she notably served as the In the Studio columnist and lead photographer, providing an intimate look at the recording process of many influential bands.

She is the author of two definitive books: How to Be a Record Producer in the Digital Era (Billboard Books / Penguin Random House) and WIRED: Musicians’ Home Studios (Rowman & Littlefield), featuring artists such as Snoop Dogg, No Doubt, and Sonic Youth. Megan is currently in production on WIRED v2.0, a follow-up series documenting a new generation of artists in their personal recording environments.

Megan is also at work on The Tapetum Lucidum, a fiction novel exploring the unseen and unheard through a dreamlike story of intuition, animal connection, and the invisible forces that shape human experience.

She maintains a private workroom and archive in Seattle, where she continues to develop tailored large-scale photographic installations. Her archive spans a diverse range of subjects, from an extensive collection of indie high-art rock photography to immersive fine-art nature and wildlife studies—including specialized work in partnership with the Snow Leopard Trust for their annual conservation initiatives.
