Otto Kitsinger is a freelance photographer based in Boise, Idaho. His main passion is performance based photography, that's his real gift. He has a rare talend and has developed the ability to convery this into his live performance photographs
It is almost a contradiction in terms. Rock and roll is all about the music and not a visual medium (not primarily, anyhow), but rock concerts are all about the music, the moment, the fans and most importantly the kinetic energy.
Otto has spent a lot of time and sacrificed unencumbered views of dozens of concerts in order to let thousands of us see what he saw when it comes to capturing the essence of a really good performance.
He treasures moments when the light frames a band member's face like a nimbus. You learn he doesn't value technical perfection over emotional impact. He sees beauty in out of focus photos or ones where the colors bleed.
Noel recalls "Maine Road was where we all used to go as kids. So I was standing there, trying to make sure I never forgot this moment"
