My Photos Featured in Metal Hammer and on the Cover of Hard Rock Magazine!

As a professional photographer, there isn’t much that is more validating than having your work featured on the cover of a top magazine. I’ve been lucky enough to see my art on album covers, posters, hardback books, and even tattooed on a man’s body. But nothing prepared me for the recent thrill of having not one, but two of my photos of the legendary Doro Pesch grace the pages of two of Germany’s premier music magazines.

The Magazine Moment

It all started when Doro shared an article about herself from Metal Hammer magazine. One of my all-time favorite photos of her, sitting in a purple chair, was featured in that article. I can still vividly recall the day I took that shot. The room had a velvet sofa and a chair that just radiated a special aura. I went into a frenzy moving all of the furniture aside from these two pieces, up against the far wall, rearranging the room, angling the sofa to catch the window’s light, and placing that chair front and center against a soft blue wall. When I had Doro sit in that chair, she looked absolutely perfect. Her makeup, her blue eyes, and the all black outfit popped against the background. As I caught the first few frames and quickly looked down to check them, I could tell she saw my excitement because she sweetly asked if she could see. I paused to show her the photo on the back of my camera and her face lit up.
