Bio/Resume
Thanks for your interest! Born Brad E. Shaw on July 30, 1958, in Pontiac, Michigan, I was lucky to be born and raised in one of America's rock-n-roll hubs. Detroit has always been a booming music town and continues to produce some of the finest in all forms of music. Add to that one of the best audiences around and one wonders how we didn't all end up in the business.
My love of rock photography stems first of all from my love of the music. Starting out in the late 70's, I was taking pics for myself because I loved the bands. Slowly, over more than 25 years, 1000's of concerts, and even more photos, I have learned the true art of rock-n-roll photography. I have now been published over 40 times and have a style of photography that stands out from all others. Loading your camera with film just won't do it. You need the passion, you need the music.
