Hello, my name is Helga Kluiter, and I am a freelance writer. When I’m not working or gardening, I like to take pictures. One of my favourite photographic genres is concert photography, and that is what this website showcases.
People often say that you can’t enjoy a live concert and take pictures at the same time. Think again! I love music and I love concert photography. So why not have the best of both worlds? Besides, there’s nothing more relaxing than editing pictures afterwards while listening to great music – and bringing back all those memories as one by one the moments pass by again on your screen.
