Hi and welcome to iShootGigs.com - a publication of music photography taken by me, John Burrows.

I’m a Stockton-on-Tees based photographer that specialises in live music and events, and since a chance encounter at an Alter Bridge gig, I’ve been hooked.

I’m a complete music geek and when I’m on assignment I love to find out more about the artists I’m shooting before I get to the gig. I enjoy 99% of the music I listen to and I fully respect all of the artists that I shoot.

As a musician myself, I have a good knowledge of what goes on onstage and it gives me an edge when it comes to anticipating the performers next move.

I love what I do and I hope you get as much enjoyment out of my photos as I did  taking them.
