Last year I photographed a lot fewer shows than I normally do, and this year was even less. I think that at some point in 2015, I decided that concert photography was not even a challenge for me anymore and got bored with it. Another thing that didn't help was that my focus started to drift towards wedding photography and personal projects. Around April or May of this year something reinvigorated me, and by the end of 2016, I completely fell back in love with it. The highlights for me were getting picked up by Riot Fest Chicago to come photograph for them, and also shooting Big Gigantic in Philadelphia. Somewhere along the way I realized that it kept me sane, and helped to balance out everything else that I was photographing. With that said, here are some of my favorite concert photos from 2016.
