Peter Sharp, Up Close & Personal (Documentary/Photojournalism (ATEP 2017))

One of the perks of being a live music photographer is that quite often, we get up close and personal with the musicians that we are capturing. If you are in the right place at the right time, sometimes those musicians will engage with you and perform in such a way that it allows you to capture a powerful moment. The engagement of musicians with their fans is always something I look to capture; however, this is a series of images when I have been in the right place at the right time, and the artists have performed for me.
