In Focus is a Photo Ladies collaborative photo series that showcases our members’ favorite photos, focusing on a different theme each month.
Guitarists will often steal the show with their prominent stage presence, but we decided to dedicate one of our In Focus features to them anyways. From small local venues to large festival stages, from names you’ve probably never heard before to Lenny Kravitz- we’ve got it all in the gallery below.

In Focus is a Photo Ladies collaborative photo series that showcases our members’ favorite photos, focusing on a different theme each month.
When thinking about iconic mic poses, one of the first people that come to mind is Freddie Mercury, who has set the bar high with his famous mic-stand poses. Photos of him with his iconic mic grip have become a symbol of an era.
We’ve put together a selection of our very own epic moments in this month’s In Focus: Epic Mic Shots.

Despite being a crucial part of the rhythm section and sometimes the glue holding a song together, bass players are often underestimated or overlooked. In this feature of In Focus we point our lenses at those responsible for the low-ends.
