Best Music Photography of 2014

Concert Photography

It’s been a great year for music photography.  I’ve enjoyed shooting a diverse group of music genres including rock, metal and pop along with rap, EDM, country and even a bit of classic rock. I thought I’d share some of my best music photography of 2014.

Here are some of my favorite concert images…
