Day 10 — Favorite Live Photo

Ah I love the questions about the photos! I love live pictures, it's one of my great passion in life ! I can't thank enough the professional or amateur photographers for the wonderful pictures they give us of Rammstein ! Thank you !

Some time ago, I already told you about my favorite picture of Till of all time. Well, he has a lot of pictures of Till that I like, on the last tour for example, I was completely obsessed with this photo :

I used it as a wallpaper for a while. I can't really explain why I like it... the arms maybe, I think I am an arm fetish... And I love black and white photos, I find that it gives something unique to a photo, especially tour photos, where sometimes it seems like all the photos look the same (because the shows are all more or less the same in terms of light and colours).

Anyway, this challenge is about the whole band, so I'm going to talk about my pictures of the guys on stage ! As you may have guessed, I am unable to choose just one so here is a small selection of photos I like to see.

First of all, what I like is when photographers capture moments of interraction between guys. How do you know a band is still alive ? When they are performing. How do you know a band is alive and well ? When they are having fun and enjoying themselves doing what they love. But there aren't many of those, I think it's easier to film than to photograph. And I feel that the bigger their scene, the more the guys feel the need to create interactions. But I like their moments of fun, of tenderness, when they reassure each other, I like to know that these moments exist. I was lucky enough to capture one of these moments myself last year. As I write these words, there are three pictures that come to mind instantly, here they are (attention spoilers of day 30) :

I also really like the panoramic photos of the stage. In particular the monumental stage of the 2019-2022 tour. But I must admit that the second and smaller stages are also very photogenic, and I'll give you two photos that really impressed me :

I also like the photos taken from the stage where you can see the audience. I find it really impressive. I don't know how the guys manage to get up on stage with all those people. I couldn't do it. But, it's a great view :

And finally, my favourite photos of the band on stage are the ones where all six of them are lined up, facing us, facing their audience. I like these photos because it shows their unity, a unity of the band, not in the face of hardship, but in the face of success. A success that could have torn the group apart. What are they thinking when they stand like this ? Are they enjoying the moment ? Do they realise how far they have come since Till had to record his voice under a blanket so as not to disturb the neighbours ? Anyway, I really like these pictures !
