Jamey Johnson

Jamey Johnson performs in direct support of Hank Williams Jr’s “Taking Back America” 2012 tour at the Gwinnett Arena in Duluth, Ga.

Photography Notes:

Shooting restrictions were imposed to cover the first 3 from the pit at Mr. Johnson’s customary house left and house right positions. We could cross the stage front between songs. Photographers were pulled at artist request right before the end of the second song. Exposures dialed in at a very manageable 1/200 F2.8 ISO2500 on the artist with the band falling to a more challenging 1/160 F2.8 ISO5000 if angles were available given our shooting positions.

Allen Ross Thomas is an Atlanta, Ga based music industry photographer available for concert, promotional, portrait, and editorial coverage for local bands, national tours, multi-day festivals, and international music events.

  Austrian based symphonic metal artists Serenity perform at Progpower USA XIII in Atlanta Ga.
