I’m very pleased to announce that I’ll be exhibiting a collection of concert photography in my first-ever gallery show. The exhibition will include images of a range of talent, from solo artists such as Morrissey, Yoko Ono, and Tony Bennett to acts like the Red Hot Chili Peppers and the Strokes.
The gallery opening is on Friday, January 4 from 7:00 to 9:00 pm, and the show runs through February 10. Suite 100 @ the Pageant, the new retail arm of St. Louis’s premier music venue, is hosting the event. This location is particularly appropriate because not only where many of images in the show shot there, but the Pageant is hands down my favorite venue in which to shoot and consistently books fantastic national acts.
For anyone in the area, I sincerely hope you’ll be able to make it out to the opening. To anyone stopping by afterward, let me know and I’ll be happy to meet up and walk you through the show.
You can download a copy of the exhibition postcard here.

WOW, that’s fantastic Todd. I hope you will make the selection available online. I’d be interested to see which of your many great shots will be included.
Hey Carsten,
Thank you very much for the support. I will certainly make the images available as an “online exhibit.” I’m sure there will be some shots that are familiar to you, but I also tried to pick a few images from smaller shows that people might not have seen. Thanks again!
Best,
Todd
awesome.. i wish i could see this firsthand.. i bet it’s going to look great..
tech: how are you printing/framing?
Hey Jeff,
Thanks, I”m excited, but there’s a lot to be done. I’m printing these at 12″x18″ and they are being framed at 18″x24″, so there is a 3″ mat on all sides. Framing was expensive, but it should look nice.
If a job takes you to St. Louis in the next two months, the show will be up.
Todd
hey! i’m glad for you mate!
unfortunaly it’s kind of being very far from me :p
but one day i’ll come for few months in U.S. i hope :)
Thanks, G!
I’ll be putting up an online gallery, so no worries. I’m sure I’ll be putting up some shots from the opening, too. Thanks for the support.
Wow Todd, congratulations! It’s about time! I’m really happy for you and I can just imagine how cool this exhibition is going to be. Wish I could be there…
So, what’s next? A job at Rolling Stone maybe? ;-)
Thanks very much, Stephen. I will keep you posted on how it goes. We’ll see about the Rolling Stone gig, I think there’s more work to be done before that!
Congratulalions on the show Todd! This is awesome news, look forward to seeing your work presented in print. You deserve it, and my wishes that good things and success continues for you.

Congratulations Todd! =) yes, will be waiting for your online exhibit, although it certainly is always better to see the original print exhibition — i’m sure it will be awesome! more success to you! :)
Kenny: Thanks very much for the support. I look forward to seeing you at the opening.
Mari: I will definitely make an online version, which I will post along with some snaps from the opening. Thanks for your support, I appreciate it.
Wow, Todd! Congratulations! This is so cool and show me that concert photography is getting respect.
Send me some shot of the exhibition, ok?
Take care!
Hey Natalie,
Thanks! One of the cool things about this show is that it’s happening in the same building as a venue at which I often shoot. I’ll probably be posting some shots of the show the weekend of the opening.
Best,
Todd
Awesome. Congrats Todd.
Thanks, Anand. The prints just came into today and they look great, so I’m very excited. Just going to drop them off with the framer now. I appreciate the support!
Todd
Awesome, I’m definitely gonna check this out. Been watchin’ your website for a while now; it’s consistently great :) ’specially since I’m in it a couple times
Hey Tim,
Thanks for the support, I look forward to meeting you at the show!
Best,
Todd
So excited for you – can’t wait!
Look forward to seeing you there, Amy!
Congratulations Todd! I will definitely check it out! I’ve become a big fan of your work!
Hey Lisa, thank you. See you at the opening.
I’m really excited about this exhibition – great news! I’d love to be there and see it in person, but unfortunately I can’t. All the best with the show – I’m looking forward to hear all about it. And be sure to put up some pics from the exhibition (the place, the crowd etc) together with the displayed images.
Hey Thomas! It would be great to have you at the opening, but I understand if you cannot make it.
I have to enlist or conscript some photogs to make snaps, definitely. Should be a fun event, anyway!
Thanks for the good wishes.
Todd
Hey Todd, I was thinking about trying to make it tomorrow, but then I remembered you saying something about it being a wine and cheese sort of thing. Care to elaborate? If nothing else, I should be by sometime Sunday most likely. Oh, and what’s the cost?
Hey Chris, this is a free, all-ages show. There will be some refreshments and such, but the show is open to all. Hope to see you tomorrow, I believe the shop is closed on Sundays.
Big huge congrats, Todd. Wish that I could come see it. How did you go about selecting images?
Va bene!
Todd – The presentation was great! Seeing the work presented in big prints and nice framing really made me appreciate the quality of what you do. I can’t imagine what the process was like narrowing down what to present, but I thought you had a good representation of your work, a little something for everyone. I’ll look forward to the next one, Exhibition: Part Deaux!
Hey Todd,
Good to see that you are getting some much deserved recognition. Tons of great images here. Congratulations!

Adria: Thanks! In selecting images I went through my images with a few things in mind – namely overall impact balanced with what images I thought would enlarge well. So, there was a technical aspect to the selection.
Kenny: Thanks so much for coming out, Kenny. It was tough to narrow down the selection, but I was pleased with the selection in the end. Hopefully this will just be the first in a series of exhibitions!
Ernie: Thanks very much, and good to hear from you! Concert photography is something I haven’t posted about much on DPR, I’m glad you could check out the work here.
