Impression of The Month: Concert Photography
Music – a supporting element of everyday life, in any form and any kind of it, it seems that life is unimaginable without it. Thus, photographing the Forza Indomita concert, held on the occasion of the 200th anniversary of Brazil's independence at the Svilara Cultural Station in Novi Sad, and organized by the TEMA Theater Music Association and the Embassy of Brazil in Belgrade, becomes an unparalleled impression of the month of May. ☺️
Photographing a concert is slightly different from, for example, theater photography. In both cases, the emphasis is on the stage, the participants – artists, their expression, as well as the scenography. Art then strives to reach maximum expression, and thus requires its visual recording in the best light.
Art that uses tones as the main means of its expression, makes it impossible to visualize it as such, whereby the main focus is transferred to recording the portraits of the performers themselves, i.e. musicians, their expressions, the entire corporal rhetoric, as well as musical instruments, their most important accessory – to package and evoke the tone, voice and rhythm, as well as the comprehensive atmosphere in a photographic frame, thereby becoming the most important task of concert photography – inspiring and exciting, isn't it? ☺️
Oh, that music! It can be slow and fast, sad and happy, it has the power to trigger all kinds of things in us, tears and laughter, the power to remember some events and recall them by the tracks that accompanied them. It expresses certain stories and attitudes, emotions and moods, just like a theatrical performance, through sound, tone and voice. She's as catchy as we let her be. We are touched by how close we get to her. And the participants of the Forza Indomita concert donated it generously and selflessly. Their derivative notes are still in the air, fluttering and alluding to some more beautiful and carefree times, with a more cherished value system and more style – it is priceless to feel! ❤️
