Professional Concert Photographer In
Dayton, Cincinnati, & Columbus

Photographing A New-to-Me Musician In 2024, I photographed Trombone Shorty and Big Boi at the Rose Music Center in Huber Heights, Ohio. Fortunately, this concert was one of the few at the Rose, as I typically focus on photographing larger concerts at larger venues, such as Bruce Springsteen. Trombone Shorty kicked off his 2024 concert […]

An Old Crow Medicine Show Close To Home During the summer of 2024, I photographed Old Crow Medicine Show at Rose Music Center in Huber Heights, Ohio. I consider this small Dayton area music venue to be my home venue. It has been around since 2015 and it’s just the perfect little amphitheater to see […]

2024 was the year of concerts for me. I photographed a whole bunch of really big names in music. Also, I attended concerts as a fan. I went to many concerts. The artists included The Rolling Stones, Pearl Jam, Green Day, Billie Eilish, Metallica, and of course Taylor Swift. As a concert photographer, I got […]

The 2024 Billie Eilish concert at Cincinnati’s Heritage Bank Center did not disappoint. I bought these concert tickets for my wife’s birthday, and neither of us had seen Billie before. This show promised great music, striking visuals, and emotional lyrics. Billie captivates audiences with her powerful lyrics and beats, constantly breaking the molds of the […]

Photographing An Opener (Molly Tuttle) With A Huge Crowd In 2024, I photographed several concerts at the Rose Music Center, including one featuring Molly Tuttle and the Golden Highway. I hadn’t heard of Molly Tuttle before this show and went in with zero expectations, but I was eager to discover new music and see a […]

Seeing Pearl Jam In Concert During the summer of 2024, I finally got to see Pearl Jam (my favorite band) in concert for the second time.  The Ruoff Music Center (Noblesville, Indiana) concert was a make-up for the postponed 2023 show.  The show was sold-out and was outstanding.  The only other time I have seen […]

I Finally Photographed Jason Isbell On a beautiful September summer night, I finally photographed Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit.  This concert took place at Huber Heights Ohio’s Rose Music Center.  We have been seeing Jason for several years, and this was the first time I have been approved to photograph him.  I love his musical […]

Photographing Green Day I have been a professional concert photographer for 10 years, and the Green Day concert is in my top five most exciting concerts I’ve photographed. This concert review was originally posted on CityBeat. On the evening of Aug. 22, I was 15 again. Green Day performed for tens of thousands of excited […]

On a whim, we went to night 1 of The Rolling Stones concert at Chicago’s Soldier Field. While our seats were on the fifty-yard line, they were all the way at the top. So, the view of the concert was not great, but the view of Lake Michigan and Navy pier made up for it. […]

Getting To Photograph Chris Stapleton In July 2024, I photographed Chris Stapleton at Columbus Ohio’s Schottenstein Center.  Cincinnati CityBeat was the publication I was shooting for that night.  He has been on my must-photograph list for a long time, so I was excited to get approved.  I was hoping for a pit shoot, but I […]
