Maggie Friedman, Photographer, Nashville

Description

Captured from behind the performer, this image shows a musician seated on a tall stool holding a guitar on a dimly lit concert stage. Heavy theatrical stage smoke rolls across the foreground and diffuses the warm stage lighting directed toward a large, packed audience filling the tiers of a historic auditorium. The musician is silhouetted against the ambient glow, wearing dark clothing. Strips of paper or debris hang suspended from the ceiling above the stage. The composition utilizes a vertical framing that emphasizes the height of the grand venue and the scale of the crowd viewed from the artist perspective.
