Taking a camera to a live performance by a band has always been one of my favorite aspects of photography - I love trying to capture the intensity on the faces of those on stage. It's actually tremendously challenging, technically and artistically. I never use flash, which can overpower the lighting onstage, and so have to judge my settings very carefully. I often look at the pictures afterward and wonder "Was it really like that?" Here's a few shots from recent outings showing the crazed fun of an eighties cover band playing a corporate gig in Orlando, the horn section of Boston's Giant Kings playing in Cambridge, and Tim Wright of Mexico City's own Los Ajusco Mountain Boys, who played this past weekend at The Black Horse.
