The National Live — Sleep Well Beast Tour, Amsterdam

25 October 2017 · Amsterdam

Red beams cut down through the dark while blue light fans out across the back wall — the stage framing The National mid-set, vocalist at the mic, guitarists flanking him on either side. The lighting rig does as much compositional work as the musicians themselves. This is indoor concert photography at its most atmospheric: a full band, a wide stage, and a light show that pulls the whole frame into a single mood. Shot during The National's Sleep Well Beast Concert Tour at an Amsterdam indoor venue.
