In Focus is a Photo Ladies collaborative photo series that showcases our members’ favorite photos, focusing on a different theme each month.
After missing more than a year of live music and festivals to Covid-19, during the Summer of 2021 it finally looked like things are slowly getting back to normal. To celebrate the cautious comeback of music festivals, here’s a selection of our favorite shots from the past few years.
Check out our previous In Focus galleries here: Drummers | Keyboardists | Bass Players | Jump Shots | Crowd Surfing | Shot on Film | Epic Mic Shots

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 is a new Photo Ladies collaborative photo series which showcases TPL members’ favorite photos, focusing on a different subject each time.
As concert photographers, one of our more challenging tasks is often taking a great photo of the drummer. Whilst they’re absolutely critical for the success of a good show, drummers are often hidden by their massive drum kits, tucked away at the very back of the stage or don’t get enough stage lights on them.
We decided to kick off our In Focus series by putting drummers in the spotlight for a change, with a selection of our community’s all-time favorite drummers photos.
