Marc Stapelberg

I am actually a press photographer for a newspaper. I started as a journalist and decided I was far more passionate as a photographer. I have worked for more than ten years shooting press work blissfully unaware that I could combine my passion for ‘metal’ with my job.

Having said that, I still have a burning passion for the newspaper world including sport, hard news, and portrait photography.

I have shot Bluesfest, Splendour and Falls for the paper a number of times and each year I get a little better.

Having photographed Rammestein, Metallica and Slipknotat festivals I am keen to photograph them at their own shows because there is a completely different energy when they are in control of their own setlists and times.
