Great expression in a small space. Conductor Sofia Winiarski, practicing Beethoven's 5th in her living room in Stockholm.

From the series: Beat Out (2021). Established and up and coming female conductors in a new light. The living, soulful and passionate capturing of emotions and storytelling. This I knew I wanted to add to the photography and visual culture of classical music. A world that is not as stiff or boring as some depictions may induce, but a world full of passion, motion and emotion, as alive as any genre.
