I'm just going to say it:
Florence & The Machine was one of the best shows I've ever photographed.
I don't like to pick favorites, but how can I not? She was amazing. I think I was holding my breath the whole time, trying not to miss anything. Her performance was as beautiful as it was elegant, as engaging as it was energetic. She held everyone's full attention for the entire show.
In short, it was a photographer's dream.
