There are many times where I have to step back and need to take in the moments my career has allowed me to be part of. Being one of the photographers on site to document the events surrounding the celebration of the great Guy Lafleur for the Habs was just that. I met Guy Lafleur… Continue reading Remembering Guy Lafleur | Montreal Event Photographer

Imagine Dragons | Bell Centre | Montreal Concert Photographer
Probably one of the more entertaining pop rock bands to see live are Imagine Dragons. While around since 2008 or so, they really started to make waves in 2012 and other than appearing at Osheaga in 2013, they have only played arenas here since. Gives you a good indication to Imagine Dragons popularity in town,… Continue reading Imagine Dragons | Bell Centre | Montreal Concert Photographer
Mika | Centre Bell | Montreal Concert Photographer
A little over 2 years is what it took for Mika to finally entertain Montreal. After an appearance on Star Academie, the ultra energetic singer was all smiles on stage at the Bell Centre. The crowd, who brought flowers for Mika, were just as enthousiastic to hear his hits like Grace Kelly and Big Girl… Continue reading Mika | Centre Bell | Montreal Concert Photographer
Post Malone | Montreal Concert Photographer | Pierre B Photo
How do you classify an artist such as who has a stage name that was created with an online rap name generator? To say that Austin Richard Post (aka Post Malone) is a rapper isn’t enough. Posty kind of melds hip hop with country with rock and throws in a bunch of tracks while singing.… Continue reading Post Malone | Montreal Concert Photographer | Pierre B Photo
KORN | Bell Centre | Montreal Event Photographer
Nu metal pioneers Korn (sorry can’t find the right font for the reversed R 😉 ) were at Montreal’s Bell Centre a few nights ago and put on a helluva show. It has been about 25 years that the band has been pumping out the metal, and after seeing them live for my third time,… Continue reading KORN | Bell Centre | Montreal Event Photographer
Bebe Rexha | Montreal Concert Photographer
Bebe Rexha, singer, songer writer and rising star, opened up the evening at the Bell Centre last week during the Jonas Brothers Happiness Begins tour. While Bebe has been around for a few years, from getting writing credits on Eminem’s The Monster to a few EP releases, I first heard of Bebe Rexha on her… Continue reading Bebe Rexha | Montreal Concert Photographer
Jonas Brothers | Bell Centre | Montreal Concert Photographer
After a little over 6 years of being officially split, the Jonas Brothers finally decided to tour together once again. The once Disney stars from the mid 2000s had some individual solo efforts over the years, but judging by the loud screams at Montreal’s Bell Centre, the fans were just a wee bit happy to… Continue reading Jonas Brothers | Bell Centre | Montreal Concert Photographer
The Chainsmokers | Bell Centre | Montreal Concert Photographer
The pop EDM duo The Chainsmokers seem to come to the city at least once a year, and each and every time, the place is turned into a party. From headlining IleSoniq last year, a sold out show in 2017, The Chainsmokers were back at the Bell Centre for their World War Joy tour. The… Continue reading The Chainsmokers | Bell Centre | Montreal Concert Photographer
Backstreet Boys | Bell Centre | Montreal Concert Photographer
One of the original boy bands (along with NKOTB), Backstreet Boys still put on an amazing show. Call it a nostalgia show if you want, the 5 boys – we should call them men as their ages range from 39 to 47 – typically play Montreal two nights in a row. Sadly, many fans were… Continue reading Backstreet Boys | Bell Centre | Montreal Concert Photographer
Muse | Bell Centre | Montreal Event Photographer
English rockers Muse were in town at Montreal’s Bell Centre last night. The band always draw a huge crowd, and the one that was there for their Simulation Theory Tour was just as massive. One thing is easy to say, Muse put on one hell of a live show. Their last tour, Drones, was just… Continue reading Muse | Bell Centre | Montreal Event Photographer
Mumford & Sons | Bell Centre | Montreal Concert Photographer
I had not been more excited to photograph a show like I was for Mumford last night. You would think after 10 years and nearly 1500 bands that the flame would dim… well, it doesn’t. The story I remember when I discovered Mumford & Sons back in 2012. I was going through a rough patch… Continue reading Mumford & Sons | Bell Centre | Montreal Concert Photographer
Elton John | Bell Centre | Montreal Concert Photographer
Sir Elton Hercules John. Is there anyone who doesn’t know that name? A staple of the rock world since 1962. The 71 year old has recently embarked on a multi-year final tour, Farewell Yellow Brick Road. 300 shows to mark the end of such an amazing career, with so many inspirational songs. The Rocket Man… Continue reading Elton John | Bell Centre | Montreal Concert Photographer
Judas Priest | Bell Centre | Montreal Music Photographer
Legends of metal Judas Priest hit up the Bell Centre in late August, on a double bill with famed rock band Deep Purple. What is there to be said about Judas Priest that hasn’t been said before? They have been around for nearly 50 years. They are one of the most popular metal bands still… Continue reading Judas Priest | Bell Centre | Montreal Music Photographer
Radiohead | Centre Bell | Montreal Concert Photographer
Radiohead have headlined an arena show 2-3 times in the last 20 years in the city. Usually preferring to be outdoors at Les Francofolies, Osheaga or just themselves at Parc Jean-Drapeau, fans were in for the full Radiohead effect in their first of two sold out nights at Montreal’s Bell Centre. The fans in the… Continue reading Radiohead | Centre Bell | Montreal Concert Photographer
Vance Joy | Bell Centre | Montreal Event Photographer
Talk about a career on the rise… Australian singer / songwriter Vance Joy brought his Nation of Two tour to the Bell Centre stage last night, and even if this was my 5th time photographing Vance in the last 4-5 years, and he has now moved from smaller venues to arenas, the guy still keeps… Continue reading Vance Joy | Bell Centre | Montreal Event Photographer
U2 iNNOCENCE & eXPERIENCE 2 | Bell Centre | Montreal Concert Photographer
What is there left to say about a legendary band like U2 ?? They have been a staple for many generations and they keep putting out new songs and keep getting new fans. Last night was the first of two shows (sold out I believe) at Montreal’s Bell Centre, and even if this is their… Continue reading U2 iNNOCENCE & eXPERIENCE 2 | Bell Centre | Montreal Concert Photographer
Bon Jovi | Bell Centre | Montreal Concert Photographer
Montreal has a certain love affair with Bon Jovi. And I honestly believe that the band has one with the city as well, dating back to the 80s. Fans were sad when the two early April shows were put off until a later date when the crew got sick. And this was after other artists… Continue reading Bon Jovi | Bell Centre | Montreal Concert Photographer
Santana | Bell Centre | Montreal Concert Photographer
Is there something Carlos Santana has not done in his long career in rock music? It has been 49 years since his first album release, and the 70 year old still seems to love being on stage and playing. 49 years…. that is a looooong time. Not sure how many bands of today will be… Continue reading Santana | Bell Centre | Montreal Concert Photographer
Demi Lovato | Centre Bell | Montreal Event Photographer
Reigning pop queen Demi Lovato took the stage at Montreal’s Bell Centre on March 17 2018. Almost 10 years since her first number 1 album, I find it great that Demi is sending out a message during her tour about supporting mental health, herself being diagnosed with bipolar disorder in 2010. I walked in to… Continue reading Demi Lovato | Centre Bell | Montreal Event Photographer
Imagine Dragons | Bell Centre | Montreal Photographer
American rock band Imagine Dragons were in town late October, playing in front of some pretty feverish fans at Montreal’s Bell Centre. They have been around for almost ten years, but really gained exposure back in 2012 with the release of their first studio album… and their popularity just keeps rising. From being named Breakthrough… Continue reading Imagine Dragons | Bell Centre | Montreal Photographer
Roger Waters | Bell Centre | Montreal Concert Photographer
It is a rare chance to get to photograph an artist who has shaped an industry. Someone who has had their music play as the soundtrack to many people’s life. So getting the go to photograph Roger Waters, founder of Pink Floyd, at Montreal’s Bell Centre on the first of his three nights was… Continue reading Roger Waters | Bell Centre | Montreal Concert Photographer
Arcade Fire | Centre Bell | Montreal Event Photographer
Just shy of 15,000 fans were present and excited to see hometowners Arcade Fire on their second stop of their Everything Now tour. An original stage setup, where there is a boxing ring in the middle of the arena, gave fans from all sides loads to see. Somewhat impressive visuals added to the moment. Fans… Continue reading Arcade Fire | Centre Bell | Montreal Event Photographer
Depeche Mode | Bell Centre | Montreal Concert Photographer
I think the best testiment to a band’s importance in any music scene is how many different age groups their music can touch. When someone in their mid 20s can say that Depeche Mode impacted their youth, and then someone in their mid 30s says the same thing, and again in their mid 40s (and… Continue reading Depeche Mode | Bell Centre | Montreal Concert Photographer
Red Hot Chili Peppers | Bell Centre | Montreal Concert Photographer
I can check another group of my youth of my list of band’s to photograph… the Red Hot Chili Peppers were in town a few nights ago and I was one of the lucky 6 to be in the pit to photograph them. The Bell Centre seemed full, with people up in the stands all… Continue reading Red Hot Chili Peppers | Bell Centre | Montreal Concert Photographer
