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 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.
