    Some of the most spectacular shots I’ve seen yet. And I’ve seen and embarassingly large number or tour photos and videos from GlamNation. Kudos to the photographer for catching such lovely images, especially for having gotten some group shots which are not the same old same old, and the ROF and VooDoo shots of solo Adam were amazing. Thank you for sharing!

    I am staring mouth open at your work. I hope you display this work in an Art Gallery, (That is one of my favorite things to do) you are amazing.

    The ring of Fire shot shows the emotion of the song. Brilliant, and the shots of Adam and Tommy are breathtaking.

    I have followed the GlamNation Tour on line since it started, and have made it to 10 of the shows, and these are by far the most amazing pictures I’ve seen in the entire 3 months. Just incredible, really. Thank you for sharing them with us.

    Just wanted to add:

    Thank you so much for posting the picture of Adam and Tommy kissing. Adam is a class act and so are you for capturing that awesome and always epic moment. Like most fans, I love watching Adam do anything remotely sexual.

    Again, if you have more, please post.

    You’ve caught the flavour of an Adam concert perfectly… you have an artist’s instinct for ‘the moment’! So good! Thank you!

    Wow! These concert photos are amazing! I just looked through your whole blog and I love your work. Really great quality! I am glad it was you that covered this concert!

  42. Lissy says

    September 7, 2010 at 7:26 am

    Wow your shots are so vivid! I don’t think I can even pick a fave, they’re all srsly gorg. Altho I am sad that Adam’s management hasn’t bucked the norm of allowing photos for only the first few songs, would have loved to have seen your shots of Adam in his different outfits later in the show. The songs where he wears that long gauzy coat that billows when he walks, or the hilariously awesome ringmaster jacket with a pimp cane, or especially the sleeveless vest! *sigh* I bet your shots of those would have been epic!

    Great work! It’s lovely to see some professional photos of this sumptuous visual feast called The Glam Nation Tour. Thank you for sharing it with those of us who cannot be there and for including pics of the audience. They are the essential ingredient without which the magic would not be possible. Adam Lambert ROCKS!!!

    WOW.AMAZING PICS..Thanks so much for sharing these. They are Stunning!! You are very talented and you captured so much emotion in these. What camera are you using, if you don’t mind me asking? I was there and it was my last show of 4. To my surprise they let us up to the front stage to fill the empty orchastra area..that was AWESOME!! I knew we would get an ELECTRIFYED ADAM when he heard the LOVE from the fans before the show..we were going NUTS!! Adam came out ON FIRE,PLAYFUL, FIESTY,SEXXXXXXXY, FUNNNNN!!! I was so close to his beautiful Eyes and Face, his glitter was flying off on me!! YEAHH!! I wanted to enjoy my last show without the camera, so I put it away after Soaked. Really, thank you for these and if you have more, please post. I am having “ADAM WITHDRAWS” really bad today, knowing I will not see him live until next year. Pics and Vids are all we have to stay close to this extraordinary human (is he?) being.xo

  53. Bren says

    September 7, 2010 at 3:12 pm

    These are absolutely perfection, James.
    Thank you so much for including the fans in your perspective! So many photographers forget us and all of their images are of the performance, which is fantastic! BUT, how totally cool to see the fan reaction!

    These need to be made available for retail, they are that good!
    I have a few things on the burner, so if you are interested, contact me. I’m happy to give you promo on my new website for Adam.
    Wings on ya, these are awesome!
    Ciao

    I don’t know what to add other than what has already been written. CanAdam get any better? The answer, obviously is YES! So talented, so beautiful, so hot. mmmmmmm. The guy’s (Tommy, Monte and ALL the rest) are amazing and beautiful and talented. Adam’s choices are unquestionable!

  55. Mary S says

    September 7, 2010 at 5:36 pm

    Your Glamnation Pics are absolutely the best I’ve ever seen. And I’ve seen ALL OF THEM!! Brilliant color, amazing clarity, perfect shots. You captured the essence of the tour. You deserve an award, James!!

    September 7, 2010 at 8:15 pm

    These are really fantastic candid shots. You can see the absolute joy on the fans faces. A lot of photographers take just the subject but not those viewing the subject. Kudos for taking pictures of the audience. The absolute joy on the subjects faces are a brilliant shot. Lambert’s costumes as well as his dancers and band are a feast for the eyes. But you managed to translate it so that those who did not attend can at least get a glimpse.

    The kiss…….the famous kiss. This kiss when it first happened (The AMA’s) actually made headlines around the globe. In the US for shock and around the world for shock that the US was so shocked lol!.

    September 8, 2010 at 11:08 pm

    Nancy and I were in the last row at the Peoria performance. The concert was even more than we expected. Adam sounds better live than on CD. Adam Lambert is a singer and performer who will blossom and grow into the most revered, loved and admired artist we know. Love, Carol

    P.S, Super photographer. Thank you for beautiful memories.
