Honorable Mention / 2010 / Photojournalism / Performing Arts

A different point of view

I've been, with a routine, photographing the Radio Company Super Contatto concert from a dark corner of the pretty big stage. The singer (on the photo) didn't seem to like that fact. He came to me, took my arm and dragged me on the center front of the stage. Fighting back my confusion, embarrassment and weak knees, I grabbed my chance and took three shots with a wide angle lens - my camera high over my head - to catch the singer surrounded by the happy crowd of people. I liked this one the most where the singer looked at the camera and thus by paradox became part of the observing crowd while I became the star. :)
