The National Live — Stage Lighting Through Concert Haze

25 October 2017 · Amsterdam

Five band members hold the stage as blue-white light beams cut through the haze above them, reducing the full setup to shapes and silhouettes. Shot from the floor during The National's Sleep Well Beast Concert Tour, the audience filling the frame below the stage. The light does most of the work here — sharp beams overhead, a warm wash on the monitors below, the crowd a dark mass in between. Stage photography from an indoor venue in the Netherlands.
