I’ve been listening to the awesome Asking Alexandria for years now and I finally get a chance to photograph them last week in Nosturi. Opening for them was a band I was not initially acquainted with, The Word Alive, but it was super fun discovering them and photographing them for the first time as well! Enjoy!

Another band off my bucket list! Since meeting the Epica members at a meet & greet many years ago when I was still in high-school I’ve wanted to photograph them at one of their concerts, and I’m so happy it finally happened! They performed in Tavastia this week and put on an amazing show, together with the finns from Crimson Sun. Enjoy the photo gallery below!

Diablo captured my ears and love the first time I saw them live in Jyvaskyla in the Autumn of 2015. I photographed them then and when I heard they are celebrating their 20th anniversary in Tavastia I knew I had to be there to once more, photograph them. Enjoy and don’t forget to click on the photos to see the slideshow!

My second gig for 2017 was a big one for me, as Sonata Arctica has been an inspiration and one of my all-time fav bands for as long as I can remember. Therefore, I treated this event in a special way and was honored to be allowed to photograph the occasion. The gig was amazing and I hope I did the photos justice. Enjoy!

Last Wednesday I managed to catch a band I have been a fan of for a few years now, Powerwolf! I was super curious to see how they will sound live, and knew their stage presence will be fun to photograph. The boys didn’t disappoint, the show was incredibly entertaining and I managed to get some nice shots! Opening for them that evening was Civil War. Photos below, enjoy and don’t forget to click on them to see the larger files!

Saturday evening i had the pleasure to attend a really awesome made-in-Finland gig with something darker and doomier: Pressure Points, Swallow the Sun and Insomnium. I had lots of fun and managed to get some nice shots! Check ’em out!

On Friday evening I had the pleasure to attend the concert of a band I have been loving since I was a teenager: Poets of the Fall! Opening for them were Sebastian Reyman and Softengine. It was an amazing evening, filled with beautiful music and the location allowed for some good shots! Enjoy!

I’ve been dying to shoot Steel Panther for a while now and I’m so so happy I got to do it! They’re incredibly entertaining to watch and photograph. Their performance was opened by the dudes from Inglorious, a band I wasn’t familiar with, but had tons of fun discovering! Photos below, enjoy!

Last night I went to see two completely new bands for me: the fun guys from Philadelphia Dynamite and the awesome ladies from Barbe-Q-Barbies. I was expecting some fun, kickass music, and both acts delivered! Below are my photos from both sets. Enjoy and click on the photos to view the slideshow!
