An Audience Of One
Posted by {H} creatives (San Francisco Bay Area, United States) on 30 May 2007 in People & Portrait and Portfolio.
Whether singing to the thousands or to an audience of one, this guy is really passionate about singing his hearts out!
Thanks to Shuva, this photo was submitted to JPGMag.com:
Stunner from Kingston, Jamaica
Great shot! I like how sharp it is and how he stands out against the dark background. He surely is, I can see the passion from the side of his face!

@Stunner: Thanks Stunner!
Manuela Photography from Hainburg, Germany
Particularly like the way the spotlight reflects on his right side...

Erik Tjallinks from Netherlands
Great, you can almost hear his song, now he has an audience of several hundreds or more, if you filled in the Google bar on your upload form. Masterly use of backlight.

@Erik Tjallinks: Thanks for the comment, Erik!
Levine from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
Heyyy! I like photos like this. I love to cover events. I think it will look even better with the crowd/fans in front of him dont you think? Unless you want just him to stand out in the picture.
30 May 2007 8:55am
@Levine: Thanks Levine...your assessment is correct! I wanted the singer to be the focus on the picture...thx for your comment!
@Makoto: Thanks Makoto!
