A man and his guitar. That is sometimes all that is needed for a great night of music. Folk singer Father John Misty was at Montreal’s VM Corona Theatre tonight on a solo tour. A pretty intimate affair in front of a very loving audience. The lighting was very simple, not much on stage other… Continue reading Father John Misty | VM Corona Theatre | Montreal Concert Photographer

Portugal. The Man | Corona Theatre | Montreal Music Photographer
I was really looking forward to shooting Portugal. The Man at the VM Corona Theatre tonight. And man, I was so not expecting the psychedelic lights. A giant projector was in the back of the room projecting random images and lights on the artist. And when that wasn’t on, giant spots in the back… Continue reading Portugal.

Ms Mr | Cafe Campus | Montreal Show Photographer
Couple of images of the Ms Mr show tonight at Cafe Campus! The place was pretty packed, and there was no pit. Huge props to the light guy who chatted me up and asked how many songs I needed better light for! He had some guidelines for the band, but was pretty cool about… Continue reading Ms Mr | Cafe Campus | Montreal Show Photographer
The Avett Brothers | Metropolis | Montreal Music Photographer
The Avett Brothers (yes, they are actually brothers) were at the Montreal Metropolis tonight in front of a somewhat sparse crowd. Tables and chairs on part of the floor? Didn’t stop the fans from having a great time though. No photo pit to shoot from, so had to wiggle through the crowd and… Continue reading The Avett Brothers | Metropolis | Montreal Music Photographer
A Day at Osheaga | Parc Jean Drapeau | Montreal Show Photography
This year’s Osheaga was slightly different for me, photography wise. The festival is way bigger than it has ever been, and as the promoter likes to keep the photo pit not too cluttered, this means that bigger national and international medias got the pit passes that we little local guys used to get. What… Continue reading A Day at Osheaga | Parc Jean Drapeau | Montreal Show Photography
The Black Keys | Laval | Montreal Show Photographer
I’ll keep it short for the preview… two words… MASSIVE stage. Evenko, the major local promoter, unveiled their new festival stage today and holy crap… 7 feet high. Hard as hell to shoot from. I’ll go into details with the real post, but here ya go… a few images of The Black Keys tonight in… Continue reading The Black Keys | Laval | Montreal Show Photographer
Show: The Cat Empire | Metropolis | Montreal Concert Photographer
As part of the Montreal International Jazz Festival, The Cat Empire was on stage at Montreal’s Metropolis last night. The crowd wasn’t packed, there was some room to move, but everyone who was there was way enthusiastic for one of their favorite aussi ska/rock/jazz bands. Great vibe in the venue!
Show: Tame Impala | Metropolis | Montreal Music Photographer
First impressions when walking into the Metropolis for the Tame Impala show last Monday? “Woah, I had no idea so many people owned tie-dye t-shirts!”. I guess that was to be expected when you are going to see a psychedelic rock band. I had shot them last year at the Osheaga festival and they put… Continue reading Show: Tame Impala | Metropolis | Montreal Music Photographer
Show: Passion Pit | Metropolis | Montreal Music Photographer
Here is an image set of the Passion Pit show a few weeks ago at the Metropolis. They were the headliners on a night that included an great set by Matt & Kim. This was my second time shooting the band and it was an ok shoot, nothing really note worthy. Might be hard to… Continue reading Show: Passion Pit | Metropolis | Montreal Music Photographer
Show: Band of Horses | Metropolis | Pierre B Photo | Montreal Concert Photographer
I’ve been a fan of Band of Horses for a few years but have never seen them live. Not a die hard fan mind you, just a regular, I like this so I’ll listen to it type of fan.
Show: DIIV | Cabaret Mile-End | Pierre B Photo | Montreal Photographer
DIIV had the fun of warming up the crowd at the Cabaret du Mile-End tonight for the Japandroids. They showed up a weee bit late, but were apologetic to the crowd. I guess on the plus side, as most people tend to show a little later, the crowd was pretty filled in.
