LP at Francofolies de Bulgarie 2023

Some of my shots taken during outstanding performance by LP (Laura Pergolizzi) at Francofolies de Bulgarie 2023

LP’s performance filled the Francofolies stage from edge to edge. I kept this gallery in black and white to hold on to the scale, spotlights and silhouettes of the set.

Scale, light and silhouette

As LP moved across the stage, the band, spotlights and open space kept redrawing the composition. The monochrome treatment holds those elements together and lets the silhouettes carry as much weight as the close portraits.
