ANDROMEDA MEGA EXPRESS ORCHESTRA

Recording sessions are intense and beautiful at the same time. It's something I learned when I had the opportunity to photograph Andromeda Mega Express Orchestra during their session in 2014. It took place at the beautiful HAU1 but that was only a fraction of the beauty I was a witness to. Their music hit me like a wall of soothing sound explosions - and I mean it in the most positive way. It was a great experience, and as far as I can remember, my first and last shoot (so far) that I had to do with no shoes on.
