The Pretty Reckless photographed at O2 Academy in 2022.

All those years back when I was an avid Gossip Girl follower, I never would have thought that one day I'll be photographing Taylor Momsen fronting a rock band and yet here we are.  This wasn't my first encounter with the band but what was very different this time was her attitude and lighting.  The last time I saw them I walked from the gig with one usable photo, the lighting was dire and she was using her hair and hands to cover her face most of the time.  This time it couldnt be more different, it was like watching a new woman, a lot more confident, showing her face, strutting around the stage and seemingly not bothered about the numerous cameras pointing at her. The lighting gods were also on our (photographers) side. Lovely white lighting from the front with colours in the back made me a very happy woman and I came home smiling.
