…. of the year again. This year was full of challenges for me, some of which I tackled and some of which I failed……. I photographed +- 50 Concerts this year, published 2 or 3 articles, my blog has +-120.000 visits a month, pictures were published in magazines and newspaper, photographed two CD covers and I got to know a bunch of really nice and interesting people. But I think the important part here, and that one applies to everyone and not only myself , is that looking back on this year puts a smile on my face.
Here’s a “small” recap of the events that were important to me this year, you can click the links to see the pictures :
There was the excellent show from Epica in January which resulted in on of my all time favourite concert picture, the Everwaiting Serenade Band Promotional shoot which was a huge learning experience for InFocus and myself. The funny Roger Cicero gig where I was stuck on one meter square for two songs, the excellent and impressive Mika concert. I was blown away by Rodrigo y Gabriela’s performance, questioned my abilities as a concert photographer during the Deadmau5 gig. I was taken by surprise with Suicidal Tendencies playing Basketball in front of the venue. And then there was the fabulous Slash gig, which was great for two reasons: He actually signed some printed copies of pictures I’ve taken during the concert, and I got to meet the guys from Porn Queen which resulted in an amazing two part promotional shoot part I and part II. Then there was the explosive Pendulum concert that I really enjoyed. We did the Pale Obsession promotional shoot which was already used as a cd cover. After the summer break I was positively taken by surprise with the Aura Dione gig. Hurts was really impressive too, in the cosy atmosphere of “Den Atelier”. Biffy Clyro’s expressive show was also one not to miss. But one of the most impressive shows this year, at least for me, was the Taste of Chaos with Papa Roach, Halestorm, Buckcherry and Disturbed.
Voila, …. that was my part of 2010 in terms of concert photography. I wish you all a Happy Christmas and a Happy New Year.
See ya all in 2011.
