Lindsey Stirling – Brave Enough Tour

I had originally planned to fly out the same day as the Lindsey Stirling – Brave Enough show. However she texted me a few days earlier and let me know it was her birthday that day… so I had to stay back and hang/ photograph / catch a very early flight the next day! I was hoping to photograph this show again in Los Angeles but I wasn’t able to. So here is what I made away with. It is a bit difficult to shoot these shows as you can see it is in a theater – so I can’t really just go stand in front, I would block people. So I shot from backstage and set a remote camera up at front of house. I also took a seat up in the front row and tried to shoot sitting down but felt like I was ruining people’s show so I quickly moved. Lesson learned.

It is not often you see her wear all black, I think it looks pretty rad
