IN FOCUS: Drummers
Cover photos by (left to right): Dana Jacobs, Jenn Devereaux, Elizabeth Friar, Victoria Ford, Victoria Sanders
In Focus is a new Photo Ladies collaborative photo series which showcases TPL members’ favorite photos, focusing on a different subject each time.
As concert photographers, one of our more challenging tasks is often taking a great photo of the drummer. Whilst they’re absolutely critical for the success of a good show, drummers are often hidden by their massive drum kits, tucked away at the very back of the stage or don’t get enough stage lights on them.
We decided to kick off our In Focus series by putting drummers in the spotlight for a change, with a selection of our community’s all-time favorite drummers photos.
