Australian Chamber Orchestra ACO 2025 Season – 50 Years 2024

About

This portrait from the Australian Chamber Orchestra 2025 Season campaign, photographed by Simon Lekias, captures a bald man dressed in all-black attire standing next to a large wooden double bass. In the background, wooden acoustic panels and empty music stands create an observational, backstage atmosphere. The direct lighting casts crisp highlights and deep shadows across the room, emphasizing the rich textures of the instrument and the utilitarian interior. The composition balances the sweeping curves of the double bass in the foreground with the standing figure, highlighting the intersection of rehearsal and performance.
