Fifteen years of professionally documented live music, captured from approved stage access and direct performance positions.
Igor RockXposure’s archive preserves defining moments from modern rock history.
Open edition fine art paper and metal prints available for collectors seeking authentic live performance photography.
Working from approved stage positions and direct performance access, Igor RockXposure captures large-scale live music events from perspectives unavailable to general media. Each image is documented in real time, within the scale and intensity of the performance itself.
Two approaches define this work: aerial drummer portraits shot from behind the kit (camera raised overhead, drummer looking up into the lens), and remote drum-kit cameras mounted on the kit facing forward—capturing the band with the crowd behind them, triggered live while I’m shooting elsewhere on stage.
