Description
Cristina DonΓ 's incredible verve.Her music balances between a really elegant pop and rock, with a bit of jazz spirit sometimes. In this concert she let her new, delicate album's sound flow on the determined rock of her first hits.
To discover some amazing (though absolutely casual) features of this shot, please see Cristina vs. Fibonacci .

Great picture. What lens would you recommend for a live band on stage? and do you use a flash?

thanks.
i never use a flash (unless it's so dark that it's absolutely impossible to take shots without it): it destroys colors and lighting.
the lens depends on what your goal is and how you are allowed to shoot.
if you shoot from the audience, a telephoto lens is a must. seldom you'll go below 200mm, most of the times you'll appreciate 300 or 400mm. use a telephoto lens for closeups and portraits.
if you are allowed to shoot from the stage front, you'll typically need lengths between 50 and 150mm. use a medium lens for band shots.
if you can shoot on the stage, a 10mm will allow great perspectives, maybe with a bit of help from the musicians.
i have a 70-300mm lens: it's the only one i use most of times.

Loving it! Great expression on her face, and the lighting is beautiful. 
Your most emotional piece so far. Very moving.

thank you olivia, for the
the lighting was a hell most of the time, since she was mainly lit from the back by a number of white spotlights and her face was in the dark.
i was so lucky here to get some reflection, or maybe some more spotlight was lit on the stage front.
