About

I am Sebastian Dammark, and I photograph concerts.

Mostly rock and metal, mostly from the pit, in clubs and at festivals across Denmark, Scandinavia and the rest of Europe. I Do Concerts is where that work lives. Where photography and interaction matters.

What I look for

When doing concerts, I mainly look for when the artist has an expression, or when they are doing something else than they are supposed to.

Three songs, no flash, and a barrier between you and the stage. Everyone in the pit gets the same light and the same amount of time, so the frame that is worth keeping is almost never the one the band rehearsed. It is the half second after — a look off-mic, a hand where it should not be, someone forgetting there is a lens six feet away.

That is also why the photographs on this site are shown large and one at a time. A contact sheet flattens a night into a grid. A single frame at full size gives it back.

Who I have shot

Rammstein, AC/DC, Volbeat, Airbourne, Wolfmother, Rival Sons, Devin Townsend, Clutch, Crowbar, Blues Pills, Kadavar, Artillery, Hatesphere, Savage Machine, Velvet Volume, Oh Land, Love Shop, Malk De Koijn, Jedi Mind Tricks, Xzibit, The Game, Mr. Sipp, Stefan Pasborg and among a good many others.

Festivals and venues include Copenhell, Danmarks Grimmeste Festival, Train and VoxHall.

The other half

Away from the pit I build for the web, frontend, backend and web applications, with a long-standing weakness for CSS, for interfaces that explain themselves, and for making a team faster rather than only shipping my own work. This site is my own: Astro on Cloudflare Workers, a WebGL ripple across the wall, and no content management system I did not want.

The two halves are more alike than they look. Both are about timing, and about knowing which details to leave out.
