Godsmack 10-16-2017

I caught Godsmack live back in October 2015 at the Oakdale Theater in Wallingford, Connecticut. The energy in the room was exactly what you expect from a hard rock show, but it was the end of the set that gave me the best photo opportunity. The band members came together to acknowledge the crowd, capping off a solid performance.

This black and white shot captures the four band members standing side by side on stage. Sully Erna is holding the microphone, and the drummer still has his sticks in hand. Bright stage spotlights cut through the background haze, casting a strong backlight on the musicians. The monochrome edit emphasizes the texture of their clothes and the intense lighting contrast.
