I’ve been getting really into gig photography lately so thought I might seek out a rad gig photographer as a starting reference point for my PB2. After searching through many a gig photographers online portfolio’s one photographer stood out in particular: Anna Dobos. Like Cecy Young, Anna often shoots fashion photography but she also has an impressive catalogue of gig photography, some examples are shown below:

Anna’s photography tends to be quite experimental, she’ll often choose an abnormal crop over an atypical one, focussing on obscure details within a shot or leading the viewers eye in an odd direction. It also tends to be highly saturated and utilises colours that clash such as bold reds and greens. The experimental nature of Anna’s work lends itself to creating these surreal, wacky looking scenes wherein the ‘beauty’ of the subject is less important than the mood of the image and the capturing of a moment.

For my PB1 I’d love to recreate these aspects of Anna’s photography by capturing some gritty gig scenes that utilise abnormal crops, saturated colour and various experimental techniques to truly capture ‘the moment’ in an interesting way.

 

Until next time,
