TITLE: KOLBAK

Indie pop collective KOLBAK I played at the P60 concert hall, October 11th 2019. I proposed to follow the band backstage, and to shoot their concert. To give both a more stylistic approach, but also to have a gritty feel to it. The photos will be used for promotional purposes. Since this is their first EP, they were very happy with the offer. This photo was taken just before the concert, where the lead singer was preparing for the performance.
