My name is Joey Simpson from Bristol, Connecticut and I am the founder of Hardcore Shots a website dedicated to New England's heavy metal scene. I consider myself a freelance photographer, taking pictures of anything. I attended my first heavy metal concert in 2006, it featured Korn and Deftones. The first show I photographed was 311 and Slightly Stoopid on 8/5/2012. Since then I've been going to shows, taking pictures, and trying to get noticed.
