Photography has been a life long passion for me.
I just wish I had more time to commit to it(Can we say day job :)
The shots in my gallery were shot by me with a variety of different cameras.I'm now shooting with a Canon EOS 1D MKIII and EOS 40D and a varied assortment of Canon L Series Professional lenses...........
I do not use a flash in my live concert shoots and as far as I'm concerned there's nothing more irritating than having some rank amateur up front or in the pit firing off a flash disrespecting the rules and the artist.
If you want to call yourself a professional then act like one and lose the damn flash and learn how to do it the right way......
I've been shooting concerts for
AC Entertainment and other clients of some awesome bands at different venues in Knoxville.You can see some of the concert galleries linked in my profile.
I'm not a band promoter........PERIOD!
I love all kinds of photography and all kinds of music! I just do the best I can to try and get the shots and hope the bands and my clients enjoy them as much as I enjoy listening to and shooting them during their performances...It's that simple!....
Music
I love all music but tend to favor the newer rock and country bands.

But they're still inside of me,They still live on....

Thanks for the add and giving us a chance! We are six hard working, passionate, down-to-earth, crazy guys creating the music that we love! Free Spirit is a hardworking and equally hard playing rock band hailing from Finland.Our music offers strong musicianship, soulful vocals and the essence of the great acts from the rock scene. Undercurrents of Celtic and folk music blend seamlessly with powerful guitars, souring harmonies and melodies that will get stuck in your head for days at a time; a wound healed only by listening to more and more, quenching the thirst of a Free Spirit hit.
