Marta Sena

A room built for orchestras, a stage set for one voice and a piano. The quietest night I have shot all year and the one I keep going back to.

Ashfield Hall has a balcony that puts you level with the performer and a house crew who will let you use it if you ask nicely at load-in. Most of this set was shot from up there with a long lens, wide open, at whatever ISO the room demanded.

Management asked for something they could use as a press set for the autumn record, so I edited it tight: thirty-six frames, half of them from the last two songs when the house lights came up behind her.
