Laguna Beach, CA - June 4, 2003
ZUMA Press, Inc., one of the world's leading providers of editorial photography, expands its coverage of the music scene by joining forces with music and entertainment photographer VAUGHN YOUTZ.
Based in the Los Angeles area, Youtz joins ZUMA Press with a passion for music and 20+ years of photojournalism experience, including over a decade as a photographer for a major L.A. area daily. By joining ZUMA Press, Youtz will continue to advance his career into the high-end magazine world.
Specializing in live-performance shoots and environmental portraits, Youtz has captured legends such as Ozzy Osbourne, U2, Jane's Addiction, KISS, Cher, Kid Rock, Bruce Springsteen and k.d. Lang, to name a few. Most recently, he has covered Britney Spears, the Backstreet Boys, Justin Timberlake, Pink, Ricky Martin, TLC, Christina Aguilera and Beck in concert.

"Signing on an ace music photographer like Youtz is a great win for us," said Scott Mc Kiernan, director of ZUMA Press. "We are actively building our music collection, and Youtz will play a big part in contributing to that. We look forward to representing his rockin' work."
Beyond music, Youtz's second passion is horse racing. For the past 10 years, he has covered major races at all the big tracks in Southern California for the Daily Racing Form, a thoroughbred racing publication distributed at the tracks.
