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.

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: 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.
