Finally finished the edits 😴

Always wanted to take a photo like this...

Ethiopian singer Minyeshu knows how to give a show. She and her band performed at Dunya in May.

 

I also met hellobo (his shots) and renerotterdam (his shots).

 

Taken on a cloudy day, around 8PM, only with stagelights, so no flash. From one of the first series of shots with my new -still very usable when highly sensitive- 1D MkIII (more on that soon). Taken with ISO 2000 (!).

Molly is captivated by Paul Gilbert's guitar skill... She's never looked at me like that. :-(

The unmistakable sound of Bere Gratis filled Sibiu's historic city centre during the 2026 Sibiu International Theatre Festival (FITS). One of Romania's most enduring and popular pop-rock bands, Bere Gratis have been entertaining audiences for more than a quarter of a century with their infectious melodies, energetic live performances and crowd-pleasing anthems. As darkness fell, dramatic stage lighting and a sea of enthusiastic fans transformed the festival into a celebration of Romanian live music, proving why the band continues to attract generations of concertgoers.

A dramatic moment during a live performance as the stage lights and haze came together to frame the guitarist in a beam of light. Concert photography is always about anticipating the moment when music, lighting, and emotion align—and this was one of those moments.

Chattermag planned to shoot their video in the cellar of an old school on the Waldeck Pyrmontkade in The Hague. The building is called 'De Grote Pyr' and the cellar is used for parties and known as 'Dystopia'. As the building is inhabited by former squatters, it has an anarchistic vibe. I was there shooting behind the scenes with Ilford HP5 and 3200 for that raw punk mood.

 

I brought my ETC Source Four 750w stage light to play with shadows.

Holga moment as Sonic Youth played Tuesday, July 28th at Roseland in downtown Portland. The air conditioner went out just as they hit the stage and they proceeded to melt us all into a wreathing puddle of pleasure.

Chris Botti at Sea II Cruise.

I caught her in a small venue in San Juan Capistrano, Ca. (The Coach House- 27 Jan 2019) She's an American singer and song writer. More recognized older works might be "Wreck of the Day" or "Breathe". Excellent show. If you get a chance to catch her show, it's well worth seeing. The lighting was stage lighting. Depending on the artist they allow cameras in the place but no flash photography. The lighting effects were very interesting. They had a lot of Red/Blue and Pink/Blue, Green, Red, All Blue, All Red and they would switch them around for different back lighting effects.

Spending the weekend editing photographs from last week's Open Mic Night! Here is one of my favourite shots!

Somehow, I snapped this shot when the stage lighting got turned down at almost minimal. Barely anything was visible! So, this was an attempt to recover one of my worst exposures! 😅 If you're intetrested, check out a screenshot of the original RAW image in the comment.

 

Have a fabulous day, everyone...

🔥✨ #SMOKEFEST 2026 — THE FINAL SHOW ✨🔥

A band plays under a steel truss rig, washed in blue and amber stage light, while a dark crowd with raised hands fills the foreground. Haze from the lights hangs over the stage at Mammoth Lakes.

As you can see, the colorful stage lighting was far from ideal. So, here was a self-challenged attempt to see if I could capture some decent scenes while handholding the camera. And, this was one of the few images that survived the mass delete! 😁 Enjoy.

 

Just in case you're curious, the EXIF was:

ISO 1000, F/4.5, 56mm, 1/125s

 

Have a fabulous day, everyone...

I captured this photo at a Band of Skulls gig in the Engine Rooms in Southampton. The venue was quite small, which ensured the crowd was packed in quite close to the stage when I took the shot. I was hoping to capture the effect of one of the lights casting across the camera's lens, and I wasn't disappointed.

Mourir grew from Vermine, the solo project of former Plebeian Grandstand bassist Olivier L. Joined by musicians from BRUIT ≤, Toucan and Drawers, the project became a Toulouse-based quartet whose black metal pairs dissonance with the crushing weight of sludge drawing on both Norwegian black metal and the French scene’s more unsettling sounds.
