Low amber light and heavy backlighting shaped the stage before the first riff landed. The production kept colour restrained, relying on shadow and contrast rather than spectacle. The Pretty Reckless held a tight formation, with Taylor Momsen stepping forward at key moments to reset the focus.

Photographing the set meant working in limited light with sudden shifts in intensity. As a UK live music photographer, I focused on expression during brief pauses between movement, balancing silhouette with detail where the light allowed.

The atmosphere was direct and unembellished, driven by steady momentum rather than theatrical staging.
