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. I’ve had him on my must-photograph list for a long time, so I was excited when they approved me. I hoped for a pit shoot, but I […]

On a recent trip to Detroit, Michigan, I toured Little Caesars Arena, home of the Detroit Redwings NHL hockey team. This is also the Detroit Pistons‘ home court as well. The reason I wanted to tour this arena is because it hosts some of the biggest concerts every year. Being a concert photographer, I always […]

In April 2024, Bruce Springsteen made good on his Columbus Ohio tour stop. He had postponed twice during 2023, so the hype for his return was immense. While I didn’t get to stay for the concert, I was one of three professional concert photographers who had the honor of photographing Bruce. When he first came […]

The Avenged Sevenfold concert at Cincinnati Ohio’s Heritage Bank Center was a different but good experience. Although I had never listened to the group, I was intrigued at the prospect of photographing them. I will often not listen to an artist ahead of time. I want my three songs of concert photography along with the […]

During the summer of 2023 I had the opportunity for a quick trip to New York City, my sixth. I took my nephew on a sightseeing trip to some of NYC’s most iconic locations. Near the top of that list for me, a concert photographer and concert lover, was touring Madison Square Garden. This is the most famous venue in the world.

I have wanted to photograph Grace Potter for several years. The concert photos of her that some of my concert photographer friends post are always really wild. I wanted to see her for myself. In October 2023 I had the chance to photograph her and her band at the Andrew J Brady Music Center in Cincinnati. Since it was so late in the year, the concert took place inside.

In November 2023 I photographed my 2nd concert at Andrew J Brady Music Center in Cincinnati Ohio. The opening act was Eddie 9V, a blues-rock group with a definite style. This group was made up of some eclectic members with the lead singer not being able to stand still for a second. It is really everything you want to see in a concert performer. They were opening for Grace Potter.
