I think this one’s the best of the concert photography I had done recently. The smoke machine made for a bit of a challenge to shoot through, and this shot certainly isn’t good enough for my portfolio, but it’s good enough I could put it out here.
Thanks for seeing my work!
I'll add something else, to me it's about the subject itself.
Obviously she's gorgeous, but the way she looks absolutely captured in that creative focus, consumed by her passion for what' she's crafting, oblivious to even the existence of a world around her, its so hauntingly beautiful... Like something private that I shouldn't be seeing, or that is so rare that I'm blessed to see it.
The shadows, the smoke, the contour - all of it play into this mysterious, even slightly mistique experience in a place one wouldn't expect it.
You were there, and certainly it was loud and dynamic and you were in a different state of mind.
For us, we're just seeing this fixed image, and the lack of context let's the mind fill in these details and make it more than what, to your eyes, it is.
At least that my take on it. Beautiful photo.
