Over the last 12 months, our incredible photographers have been front and centre at some of the best gigs across the country with their camera gear in tow. They’ve captured beautiful portraits at such intimate settings like Levis Corner House in Ballydehob and Hawks Well Theatre in Sligo to the festival fields of All Together Now and Forbidden Fruit. The team consists of such lovely, dedicated and hardworking folks and we’re so proud of them for representing The Thin Air.
Twenty photographers from our team deliberated over two hundred galleries of live gigs, deciding on one photo by each member as their favourite. We then compiled the final list of photos from their selections to present to you the very best of their live images this year. Here’s to many more live visual delights in 2023!
