Professional Concert Photographer In
Dayton, Cincinnati, & Columbus

I photographed the Andrew J Brady Music Center several times in Cincinnati Ohio. This incredible indoor and outdoor live music venue sits between Paycor Stadium and Great American Ball Park as part of The Banks. The indoor concert venue which has outstanding acoustics, holds 4000 people. The ICON Festival Stage outside facing east holds 7000 people standing only.

As a professional concert photographer in Ohio, I love to shoot at new venues. I recently had the opportunity to photograph Billy Joel at Great American Ball Park, home of the Cincinnati Reds. For this show, I was shooting for Cincinnati CitBeat one of two publications that I work for. The night turned out great but our situation was less than stellar.

In 2022 I requested to photograph Garth Brooks at PayCor Stadium, formerly Paul Brown Stadium. Months went by with me as the backup photographer for Cincinnati CityBeat. I hadn’t requested the show in time. 24 hours before the show, I got a call from my credentialing contact saying the other photographer was sick. I jumped on the opportunity to photograph arguably the biggest name ever in music.

As a professional concert photographer, I try to shoot the shows of the biggest stars in music. When I saw Celine Dion was coming to town, I decided to request the show. This October 2019 show was at U.S. Bank Center (now Heritage Bank Center) in Cincinnati, Ohio. I was shooting for one of my two publications based in Cincy.

In May 2019, a series of tornados struck various parts of Dayton, Ohio. The hardest-hit areas were Trotwood and Harrison Township.

Alan Jackson began his 2020 world tour at Cincinnati’s Heritage Bank Center on January 10, 2020. This decades-old area was formerly U.S. Bank Arena, FirstStar Center, The Crown, and Riverfront Coliseum. Steel Blossoms, a house band at Jackson’s Nashville bar opened the show was Steel Blossoms. Tenille Townes was the next opener and played a fantastic set that was lively and entertaining. Alan Jackson was amazing and came out playing to the sold-out audience. During one song, he put down the guitar to throw t-shirts to the crowd.

Slayer lit up the stage at Nationwide Arena, on November 12, 2019.  This was the wildest concert I have photographed in my 5 years as a Dayton, Cincinnati, and Columbus concert photographer.  There were numerous pyrotechnics and dozens of crowd surfers. Check out more concert photography here.

September 4, 2019, Our Lady Peace opened for Bush and Live at The Rose Music Center At The Heights in Huber Heights, Ohio. The show was nearly sold out, and the crowd was in a collective great mood. Here are a few images of Live on stage for the Dayton area audience. It was a great concert on a cool summer evening. Thanks to CincyMusic.com for allowing me to shoot for them!
