One thing I like about photographing three-piece bands? It keeps things simple. But just because Sick Puppies have a minimum of members, one should never underestimate their intensity.

Opening up for Breaking Benjamin and Papa Roach, Australia’s Sick Puppies came in with the crushing live show that’s built them such a dedicated following.


This show was easily the most challenging set of the night to photograph, not only for the very dim lighting, but also for Sick Puppies’ supreme intensity on-stage.

Between Mark Goodwin wailing away on drums to Emma Anzai’s ferocious slap bass style and Shimon Moore’s vehement delivery on vocals and guitar, the band put on a great show that was a blast to photograph. With three songs, the time flew by.

Due to to the six-foot stage and the band being relatively set back from the front of the stage, I relied on the 24-70mm and 70-200mm for this performance. The Nikon 14-24mm f/2.8 stayed in my bag.

I don't think it's possible to take a bad pic of Sick Puppies.

He has some REALLY great pics from the Pageant 2008...especially of Shim.

LOVE the pics! Thanks for posting the link!

That's cool that someone by the East Coast knows of Todd since he is here in St. Louis. He does a great job. It would be cool to see what he would do with the Pups in a regular photo shoot, instead of a live performance.

Those are some awesome photos, kudos to him.
These are my two favourites.

Just give me one minute to be a fangirl. This is entirely drool-worthy.

Go ahead, he is all yours.

By far my favorite:

^ that picture is amazing. He defiantly has some of the best ive seen.

Man oh man I think these are some of my favorite shots. Like I've said before, I don't think it's possible to get a BAD picture of them at all.

I love these photo shots but I swear i seen this interview before on here

oh yes! he got some amazing shots, i was actually doing pictures with him at the ho ho ho show in stl 2009

epic is the only word I can think of

Thanks very much for the kind words, all. Glad to hear you like the photos!

I'd love to do a photo shoot with the band some time.

Sick Puppies are coming back here with Nickelback in April and you can bet I'll be there.

I would love if you did get a photoshoot. You have some fantastic shots. I saw some of your work a long time ago. Good stuff!

^^^ I agree - a photoshoot would be awesome ! And I'll be at that show in April as well -- I'll be looking forward to more photos
