Photographer Todd Owyoung

I will be selecting pictures from the website ishootshows.com. It is the website of photographer Todd Owyoung. He covers various musical events. I have chosen to do this photographer because I wanted to find a topic I could relate to and he seems to be one of the only professional photographers capturing live concert events. On a skill level I like his angling and his use of the background scenery.

Many of his clients include Fuse TV, Atlantic Records, Universal Music Group, Live Nation, The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, and Dave Matthews Band. His weapons of choice are Nikon DSLRs, Nikon f/2.8 Lenses, Nikon Primes, and Nikon Speedlight/CLS... so it's basically Nikon all the way
