Backstage blues

Posted on by Geoffroy Schied

Some days feel slower than others. The break between our warm up rehearsal and the concert was longer than usual, due to a pre-concert presentation.

I wandered in the backstage area, bathed in blue light, lost in the underworld, the part that forever stays in the shadow, unseen. There is a certain melancholia to this space, cramped with machines and technical equipment. So close to the stage and yet so quiet.

I am a Munich based photographer, specializing in music and portrait photography. Since the mid 90’s I spend a big part of my life on tour, with orchestras performing all over the world. As a founding member of the Mahler Chamber Orchestra, sharing the stage with others allows me to get close, and my images offer unusual perspectives, in performance or backstage. I aspire to share intimate moments and bring you closer to artists as they journey towards their performances.
