Tim Tronckoe Photography

I'm a Belgium based music photographer with a huge passion for hard rock bands. As in-house photographer for some of the leading metal festivals in the BeNeLux area (Graspop, Fortarock, ...) I've had the chance to work with tons of awesome bands. Here's a summary of some of my accomplishments:
- Shooting the latest promo photos of the new SLAYER line-up
- Shooting the promos for EPICA's last album
- Shooting the latest promo photos of TARJA (the original NIGHTWISH vocalist)
- Shooting an exclusive portrait of RICHIE SAMBORA with ORIANTHI
- Shooting the promos for NIGHTWISH in 2013
- My WITHIN TEMPTATION picture getting picked by the band for the cover of their upcoming live dvd

I work for magazines, record companies and bands. I always try to combine both portraits and live photography, because it gives the complete picture of the artist: behind the stage and on stage. However, I'd hate to be a paparazzo photographer. Everything I do is always well discussed with the band and their management.

Music is my life, so I feel truly honoured to be able to combine my two passions (photography and music) and to see people enjoying what I do. That's far more important than the money I get for it.
