Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds Live in Paris

4 October 2017 · Paris

Stage fog catches the blue wash mid-air, turning the light into something physical. Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds fill a packed Paris venue — the band silhouetted against the haze, the crowd dense and dark in the foreground with phones raised. Indoor concert photography at its most atmospheric: the room holds both the music and the smoke, and the two become indistinguishable. The stage is the only source of light, and everything else arranges itself around it.
