stage pictures

Shooting live bands has its own thrill that can't be matched in regular portraiture. It's alot of patient waiting to capture the feeling on the guitarist's face during a solo or the lead singer making huge gestures trying to pull the crowd into the act. Here is a small collection of pictures i've taken in the past few years and some of them were on a simple point n click, just to prove that the photographer makes the photo not the camera.


The first 5 pictures are of my friends' band Swing Hailey who have been very patient with me constantly photographing them at their gigs so i can gain more experience.
