Born in Jyväskylä, Finland, Henri Käck is a gig, festival, concert, and all around in general- music photographer. He is yet to become renowned for his works, as he is not very well known; however, his pieces are extremely impressive, and deserve far more attention. He generally photographs rock, hardcore and metal bands - anything ranging on the heavier side of music, really.
The effort it seems he puts into his photography clearly has its results; he manages to capture the sheer intensity of the bands playing, and the emotion radiating from their performance. It is apparent that he always uses the raw lighting available, which always enhances the quality of the photograph in terms of its emotional conveyance upon a viewer (flash tends to ruin that, as it washes out all the natural colour/highlights mostly foreground objects). It is incredibly hard to do gig photography in some circumstances where there is in fact, hardly any lighting to work with - which seems to be the case for many of his photographs. Henri Käck impressively overcomes these annoyances, and continues to produce these amazing photographs of live bands. The colours he achieves in his works are incredible, which help to highlight the key features throughout the photographs.
Below are some of my favourite photographs of his.
