Shoot first, ask questions later. While I’m a sucker for a dirty guitar riff, I shoot all genres and styles of artists, international or local, big or small. Nothing better than the energy of a live show, whether it’s someone you’ve seen a heap of times or being blown away by an unknown support act, it’s the challenge of trying to bring all the elements of the live music experience together to capture that one killer shot that keeps me coming back.
