Among his concert photographs are rock legends such as the featured portrait of B.B. King (above), which won Gold in the Photography Annual 2012. In this photograph, he is able to capture King’s personality and passion for music, while also paying attention to the details and use of light to capture a special moment.

Additionally presented in the Journal is the above images of Bruce Springsteen (above, left) and Tedeschi Trucks Band (above, right).

In his informative Q&A, he talked about how he started his career, and how he got his first shot of B.B King. He describes how he snuck into the front row where the press was, and despite being noticed by Magnum photographer Guy Le Querrec, he was able to get his first shots of the musician.
