THE SMASHING PUMPKINS

BEHIND THE SHOW

Photographing The Smashing Pumpkins at the O2 Arena was a bucket-list moment. The scale of the production, the precision of the performance, and the sheer nostalgia in the air created an electric atmosphere. Billy Corgan's command of the stage, the intricate guitar work, the wall of sound—it all required me to anticipate moments and stay sharp. The challenge of capturing such a massive production without losing the intimacy of individual performances pushed me creatively. This show taught me how to work in larger venues while still finding the human moments that define live music.
