Tuska 2018 came and went so of course I could not miss it, for the 3rd summer in a row! It’s becoming more and more of a yearly tradition that I’m honored to be part of. This year we have not only a daily gallery but also a day-by-day review coming up. First things first, this is the gallery from day 1! More coming soon, enjoy!

Last Tuesday I had the great pleasure to photograph Testament, Annihilator and Vader on their Helsinki stop of their ‘Brotherhood of the Snake’ tour. It was a really fun evening so I took a few more photos than usually :D. Enjoy!

One of my teenage band loves, Cradle Of Filth, came to cold Helsinki last wednesday for an epic show! I never had the pleasure of seeing these wonderfully artistic musicians live before so was incredibly happy to not only be able to check out their live performance but also photograph it. Check out my shots below!

Last night I had the absolute pleasure to catch Beast In Black and Oceanhoarse live, 2 acts I have been very curious about for a while! The show was wonderful, both bands performed their hearts out and I think I got some pretty neat shots. Check them out below!

Beast In Black

It’s been 8 years since I first saw PAIN live as a teenager. Back then they used to be one of my all-time favourite bands and I’ve always remembered very fondly meeting Peter Tägtgren as he was one of the kindest and lovely people ever! Because of that, when I heard they will be visiting Helsinki I knew I need to be there to photograph them and watch them live again. Below you can check out the photos I took last night:

My amazing and super talented friends from Between Colors had an album release party in our hometown in Romania and I knew I would not want to miss it! They created a special show for the release of their new artistic baby ‘Simulacrum’ and it was definitely was all they promised to be and more. I took and edited a bunch of photos for them but decided to post my 10 favorite ones here as well, because sharing is caring! Check these guys out, they are on their way to greatness!

On Friday evening I had the absolute pleasure of photographing two of my all-time favourite bands: Reckless Love and The 69 Eyes. The gig was extra special as it was Halloween themed under the name Monster Double. Check out the costumes the guys wore and the gigs from my eyes below:
