Events

The quiet in a loud room.

One festival is a night. A year is a hundred rooms - concert halls, design talks, a book launch, a harbor in the morning. Different every time; the way of seeing, the same.

ON STAGE

A concert hall goes quiet; a summer stage catches the last of the sun. I work both the same way. Close, unhurried, waiting for the moment the music takes over.

A newer room, a newer crowd - the same instinct for the moment before, and the moment just after.

THE LONG ONE - US BY NIGHT

Three nights, thousands of people, one camera moving with them. The kind of room you only photograph well by staying in it.

ON THE DAY

An event doesn't pause for the photographer, and it shouldn't. I stay long, move light, and wait for the room to forget I'm there. That's usually when the picture worth keeping happens.
