Over the years, his all-access approach to shooting has placed him on stage and behind-the-scenes in the dressing rooms, tour buses, and recording studios of Rock’s biggest stars. Watermann’s intimate perspective and embedded style gives fans the feeling of “really being there,” making him the choice live photographer for System Of A Down, Linkin Park, Toby Keith, and more.

Greg Watermann: “Being the first featured photographer at the Eye for Sound gallery is an amazing opportunity. It’s the perfect place to exhibit a collection from my SOAD archive. My portraits are part of their history. And they’ve always been my favorite band to photograph live. Their crazy on-stage expressions match the energy flow of the music, which makes shooting their concerts a happy challenge."
