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:

I’m back with some more Tuska madness! This time featuring one band I always enjoy watching live, Insomnium, as well as some new one before my lens: Suicidal Tendencies, Brujeria and Wintersun. It was great fun catching these awesome people live and getting inspiration from them for some great photos!

The first evening of Tuska I caught two acts I’ve been wanting to photograph for a while now: Sabaton and Devin Townsend Project. As a fun surprise Anneke van Giersbergen joined the Devin crew on stage, as you can see below! Enjoy!

HIM has been the band of my teenage years so having the chance to see them after a bit more than 10 years AND photograph them on their last tour, was something I was so very nervous and excited to do! Hope you guys like the shots I managed to take, they had an awesome show full of goldies so I definitely recommend checking them out before they stop performing <3!
