In Focus: Guitarists
Cover photos by (left to right): Ana Santos, Joanna Glezakos, Violeta Alvarez, Edwina Hay, Carolyn Lederach
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.
Check out our previous In Focus galleries here: Drummers | Keyboardists | Bass Players | Jump Shots | Crowd Surfing | Shot on Film | Epic Mic Shots | Festivals

In Focus: Epic Mic Shots
Cover photos by (left to right): Ana Santos, Gili Dailes, Annie Lesser, Jordan Hefler, Ana Santos
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.

In Focus is a Photo Ladies collaborative photo series that showcases TPL members’ favorite photos, focusing on a different theme each month.
As concert photographers we always wait for an exciting moment to happen on stage so that we can capture it, but sometimes we are treated to an exciting moment off the stage. This month we are giving you our favorite Crowd Surfing photos, with the hope that we can soon return to witnessing such epic moments safely

IN FOCUS: Bass Players
Cover photos by (left to right): Ana Santos, Angela Romano, Emily May, Gili Dailes, Erin Brown
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.

IN FOCUS: Keyboardists
Cover photos by (left to right): Elizabeth Friar, Jordan Hefler, Edwina Hay, Erin Brown, Dana Jacobs
In Focus is a Photo Ladies collaborative photo series that showcases TPL members’ favorite photos, focusing on a different subject each time. Following the success of our first In Focus feature which was all about Drummers, we decided to dedicate the second feature to a subject that is just as challenging to photograph: Keyboardists! From digital keyboards to pianos, from small gigs to Elton John: this is a selection of our photographers’ all-time favorite keyboardists photos.
