A hundredth of a second here, a hundredth of a second there–even if you put them end to end, they still only add up to one, two, perhaps three seconds, snatched from eternity.

Everything is a subject. Every subject has a rhythm. To feel it is the raison d’être. The photograph is a fixed moment of such a raison d’être, which lives on in itself.

In my experience, liintghg crews are mainly concerned with creating an atmosphere (as they should be). When there is a photography/videography is planned for the show, it simply means that they need to create drama in a different way. In this case, it was adding more front liintghg at the proper times and taking it away during others. This made for a nice modulation of the atmosphere. When combined with the great set of stage lights at Nokia, a little extra front light can make for an amazing show. Keep in mind that I was shooting at ISO 2000 or 3200, the entire time, so there wasn’t THAT much front liintghg =)
