The music scene:

One of the great perks of working as a professional photographer is the opportunity to get up close to the action, including some of the top musical acts to come through Cleveland.  And, if I've learned nothing else, there's a LOT of great musical acts out there, no matter which genre you prefer.

In 2017 I covered more than 35 concerts with acts ranging from U2 to Panic! At The Disco to Janet Jackson, as well as the final concert (so far) by Twenty One Pilots (see the list below of most of the shows).

These are just a sample of the dozens of concerts I've covert, but you and click here to see my favorites from 2017.

• U2 • Katy Perry • Queen with Adam Lambert • Panic! At The Disco • Luke Bryan • Arianna Grande • Janet Jackson • Fall Out Boy • The Lumineers • Twenty One Pilots (final concert) • Machine Gun Kelly • Idina Menzel • Alternative Press Music Awards • Rod Stewart • Cyndi Lauper • Shawn Mendes • James Taylor • Daughtry • Nickleback • Kings of Leon • John Mayer • Ed Sheeran • Matchbox Twenty • Rise Against • Paramore • Tyler, The Creator • Jay-Z • Janet Jackson • Ben Folds • Chris Brown • The Maine • 

The theater scene:

In addition to covering many of the popular concerts in Northeast Ohio, I also enjoy photographing (and attending) theater events, especially musical theater. I shoot video and stills at many of the shows put on by the Academy for the Performing Arts and Chagrin Falls High School.
