I took this shot on my now retired Nikon 800D camera. With the aperture open just wide enough to not completely blur out the artists in the background. This keeps the action in the photo strong while still keeping the focus on the music fan enjoying the festival.

This photo grew out to be the most popular on my Unsplash page with well over 1.000.000 views to date.

It took me probably over a year to befriend Gustavo. He's an outdoor dog that lives in a garden full-time and guards his territory from all intruders. The first months he was barking at me everytime he'd see me, but now I'm allowed to feed him, pet him, walk him and photograph him.

To get real close to the action I mountained a GoPro 5 Hero Black inside Pete Parada's drumkit with the help of The Offspring's drumtech Will Dorsey. I set the GoPro to take a photo every 2 seconds allowing it to save GPR photos in, GoPro's native RAW format. This makes it a lot easier to process in post.

This photo of Simon Johansson performing with Soilwork was shot using my go-to lens, the versatile 24-105mm Canon. I always take this lens if I can't bring too much of my gear or changing lenses during the show becomes too much of a challenge.
Additional noise removal was done using Neat Image.

In Iceland the photos really take themselves. The colors in the glacier cave are a beautiful aquaish turquoise hue. The way the light scatters around in the ice coming from the bright light above makes for a very surreal and abstract capture. It came out a bit flat straight out of camera but I tried to show what my eyes actually saw and felt being right there and then.
