eddie k - LIVE frontman
acoustic show Melbourne
Respecting the subject - Ed Kowalczyk is the frontman of my favourite band, the US based +LIVE+. He has recently started to tour solo doing acoustic gigs. I took my camera along to his Melbourne show, well hidden in the bottom of my bag (I was lacking the almighty 'photo pass' associated with band photography) and with a front row view, set about capturing some photos that would respect Ed's talents.
Challenging conditions included security, low light and changing stage lights and numerous 100's of fellow fans. This is one of the shots that I like the most. Ed performs from the heart and you can see his passion and belief in his music on his face. Often his eyes are closed and it is difficult to get eye contact with him as a result but I feel like I captured some of what he may be feeling in regard to the song he was performing.
I attempted to capture a strong composition in this photo with its obvious triangular lines. Due to low lighting, I thought I'd take advantage of a slower shutter speed and motion blur occurred in his playing hand which I feel adds to the atmosphere I was trying to create in respecting my subject.
