There are multiple reasons why seeing BTBAM live has become an obligation for me, one of such reasons is this gentleman here —Mr Blake Richardson— one of the best drummers out there and a really cool dude.
As a drummer — seeing Blake deliver some of the most powerful, technically complicated, and tasteful drum performances is inspirational and aspirational… all while visibly having a great time, breaking smiles and even putting shades on. After a show that would have any professional athlete looking for a quiet place to recover, he will go back and hang with the crowd, answer questions and take photos with fans.
As a photographer — taking photos of Blake is, without a doubt, one of the biggest challenges you can have. As stated before, the power of his performance is second to none, combine that with complicated lighting and a literal wall of cymbals and toms and you end up with a few places where you can access his face; to gain access to that shooting window, you need to be, somewhat center off the stage… right in front (or behind) the mosh pit!! Well… CHALLENGE ACCEPTED 💪🏽🤘🏼
With this show, BTBAM has become the band that I have photographed the most, and this performance was, in my opinion, the one with the most brutal set list, I mean… first song and there was people crowd surfing!! what a good time.
