Flame jets fired at the downbeat as smoke rolled across the front of the stage. The production was built for impact, with saturated reds and strobes cutting through heavy backlighting. Skillet moved constantly, using risers and platforms to create height and depth within the frame.

Photographing the set meant reacting to pyro cues as much as to performance. As a UK live music photographer, I focused on timing between flame bursts and front-of-stage movement, working to capture scale without losing individual expression.

The energy was direct and uncompromising, sustained from the first ignition to the final chord.
