Stunning images, creative use of light.  §1 is my favourite, a most unusual and striking composition.

Simply superb. Where to begin? Where to end?

You capture the emotional content of the moment that is all you can do, the best you can ever do as a photographer
You are out there. You and your camera. You can shoot or not shoot as you please. Discover the world, Your world. Show it to us. Or we might never see it.

Fortunately you didn't post this in the critique section!
N. 3 and 5 stand out for me. The harpist is also filled with emotion.
It is great to have you here as one additional source of inspiration.

(Señor se volo la barda!!!) ... Fantastic series, every shot is great !

Seems you were able to move freely

the shot of the harp, is it manually focused (focus peak?), or focus recompose ... I really like it

"Fortunately" ? Thank you Olivier. I am pulled to minimalistic also.

Thank you Armando. Yes, I can move around the stage. I shoot the dress rehearsal. The drama teacher likes me poking the camera into the faces of the performers. She feels that this makes opening night night easier for the kids, if they can performed with this bearded ol' fart sticking a camera into their noses ... then opening night will be much easier. And ... free access gets me more interesting photos. The harpist was recomposed.



Lo que es "barda" en Ingles?

a wonderful series
for sure they´re looking more exotic because you got perspectives normally one can´t get,
but no doubt about your professionality to deal with light, movements and expressions

The photographer as sparring partner for the performers ... haha

clearly a win win
