Dutch photographer Arny Raedts (1965) sold his first photo for a couple of Deutsch Marks to a punk fanzine in 1986.

Since then the pay didn't get any better, but he kept on shooting. Not from the side line, but right there in front of the stage, in the pit, where the action is. Mostly with a wide angle lens, band and audience equally important.

Dodging stage divers, getting kicked in the head, camera gear soaked by beer and sweat. Arny didn't mind if the music was loud, fast and dirty.



His work has been published in international magazines like Rolling Stone, OOR, Focus, Columbus, Elmore and Zoom.
