Most of us know Yael Naim from the MacBook Air publicity add with the song “New Soul”. She’s also sang the song “You disappear” in the movie “Harrison’s Flowers” (excellent movie btw), and she performed in the musical “Les dix commandements”. I guess a résumé like that says a lot about her talent. During the 3rd song she moved away from her Microphone for a moment an came really close to the pit and started singing, ….. I was blown away by her voice, the strength in it is awesome. She’s a tremendous performer.
Photographer’s perspective: The light was weird for this venue. It was quite sophisticated in a way but harsh. There was always a white spot on Yael, but the surroundings were very colorful. It makes for a different coloration in the pictures. We had her sitting for two songs at the piano which made 1 square meter a crowded spot for 5 photographers but other than that it was very interesting. I used the 1D and the 28-75mmF2.8 exclusively for this concert.
