Gene Simmons KISS

Gene Simmons of KISS that I shot at the old Starwood Amphitheatre in Nashville. With a bit of extracurricular post work.

They actually have a play list for the photographers that let you know what songs you can shoot and which ones you can't. In fact, one of their people will come and ask you to surrender your camera to them if you want to continue to watch the show. If not, you have to wait in the green room while they play the songs that aren't on their play list.

Since I had never seen them before, I stayed and watched the show and their handlers brought my camera back for the 'approved' songs.

Wow! That's a great picture. I didn't think old Gene would ever look so good. I don't know how much PP you did, but Gene ought to hire you as his personal photographer. :D :thumbup:

Thansk for the kind words. ;-) I added the dust specs, lights on the left and basically smudged the entire photo with some custom brushes. He should hire me. LOL!

Nice shot, and the processing really pops.

While I am not a Gene Simmons / KISS fan, this is one excellent photo of the dude!

I wasn't a big fan either, but they sure put on a heck of a show!
