Our June “Concert Photo” Contest Winner
is
Joe Schaeffer
with his photo of Calico Cooper of Beasto Blanco
taken on the Megacruise
We love this photo Calico in her road warrior mode during the Beasto Blanco set. Joe has a way of capturing the intensity of the moment and that’s what made this our winning photo.

Chris Loomis with his photo of a Ace Von Johnson of LA Guns at The Coach House in San Juan Capistrano, Ca. Not only is Ace pushing the boundaries of back bending guitar playing but blowing the bubble gum bubble takes this photo over the top. Kudos on this shot Chris!

Abigail Buckler with her photo of the Brian “Head” Welch of Korn at House of Blues in Las Vegas, NV. Hair flipping shots have always been great to capture but shooting through a sea of dreds are always bonus points. Very cool capture.

Eve Lien (Eve ov Beer) with her photo of Jen Nyx of Blód taken at Hellfest in Clisson, Fr. This photo screams goth, this photo screams punk, plain and simply, this photo screams attitude and was captured perfectly.

Aaron Del Bono with his photo of Mathias Jabs and Rudolf Schenker of the Scorpions at the Zappos Theater in Las Vegas, Nv. Anyone who has seen this band play live knows that there are few moments during the show when these two get together without Klause in the photo with them. That’s why we think this is a great capture of this duo.

Kevin Smith with his photo of Axl Rose and DJ Ashba of Guns n Roses at The Hard Rock in Las Vegas, Nv. These were two great residencies that Axle did and this was a great capture from the crowd. Fun times and a cool photo.

Jeff Serpa with his photo of Jason Hook of Five Finger Death Punch at Citizens Bank Arena in Ontario, CA. This is a great capture of Jason looking out into the crow with the red background that pops color against the lime green stripes on his Gibson. It is almost a rock portrait of Jason. Great Shot!

Our March “Concert Photo” Contest Winner
is
Johan Sonneveld
with his photo of drummer Joe Letz of Til Lindemann
taken at the RTM Stage in Rotterdam, Netherlands
We love this photo of drummer Joe Letz stepping out from behind the drums to toss a cake at the crowd. There’s so many things that make this an incredible photo. The colors, Joe’s makeup and expression, the cake in motion, all put together to make this a show stopping photo.

Jeff Serpa with his photo of the late Eddie Van Halen of Van Halen at the Sleep Train Amphitheatre in Chula Vista,Ca. This is a wonderful close up of Eddie doing his tapping technique that forever changed rock music.
Vanessa Hunsaker with her photo of Aaron Leigh of Y&T taken on the Monsters of Rock Cruise 2024. Aaron is seen here with his dark purple bass, under purple lighting, with his Prince wallet chain. Coincidence? I think not. Great capture of Aaron as he stares into the crowd.

Peter Pap with his photo of Extreme at the Hindley Street Music Hall in Adelaide, Australia. Peter was able to get this great group shot of all four members and the lighted backdrop. There are so many small things to view and it’s just a great shot of bodies in motion.

Tovita Bråthen Razzi with her photo of the band Status Quo at Rockefeller in Oslo Norway. It was Status Quo who were the first to really land this guitar trio pose in the 60’s. It helped influence stage shows around the world and Tovita was able to capture it perfectly.

Enrique Sanchez with his photo of Aaron Leigh of Y&T on the Monsters of Rock Cruise. Normally we do not get two photographers shooting the same show but this shows the how a photographer goes for a different perspective on the same subject during a show. Horizontal shot with different lighting and still killer imagery.
