Hey everyone! Big hair, loud guitar, leather pants, and amps turned to 11—what wasn't awesome about the '80s hair metal scene? Hair Metal Giants are here to keep that vibe alive! This tribute band from Austin rocks out to all the greats from Def Leppard to Motley Crue, and they really bring the goods.


I recently upgraded to the Nikon Z6ii and couldn't wait to test it out. So, I reached out to some local bands and was stoked when Hair Metal Giants invited me to their show at Shooters. The camera performed brilliantly, and the show was an absolute blast! Check out some of my favorite shots below. If you're in need of some epic concert photos or any other type of photography, let's make it happen! Book your session with me at The Vinyl Lens today.
