Rihanna_RogersArena_Vancouver_DSC_3895_mohawked
Pop superstar Rihanna came to Vancouver BC to play Rogers Arena.
I have to admit, after photographing similar pop stars like Lil Wayne, Nicki Minaj, Bruno Mars, and Janelle Monae at the Arena recently, I wasn't terribly excited about this show.
For one, the standard is that photographers have to shoot from the soundboard, which is miles away from the front of the stage, where I want to shoot from. And secondly, those aforementioned shows are all about the jumbotrons and lightshows; the performers are lip synching bores.
But Rihanna is a different story. Whether or not you agree with how she flaunts her body, the girl knows how to perform. For the 3 songs we shot, she worked the stage non stop. The variety of shots she provided for us, considering we were all standing still, was a delight.
