Profile
Recently, I have had the opportunity to shoot some great Rock acts through various associations and now that I have had this taste for it… I want more!
The adrenalin rush before each and every gig is intense. I liken it to back in the day when I used to play in a band myself. That moment before we’d hit the stage was as close to orgasmic as one can get. And It feels the same in the photo-pit.
Behind you lies a rabid crowd chanting the band’s name in sheer anticipation. Ready and eager to witness and experience their heroes. In front of you the band is getting ready to hit the floorboards with raw energy, power, volume, aggression and extremely high energy levels…
…and there you are!
Smack, bang in the middle of it all.
