As a fan of Seu Jorge, Wes Anderson, and David Bowie, I believe this photo encapsulated a beautiful moment during Seu Jorge’s tribute concert. This photo creates a dialogue between the artist and the audience that, even if you’re not a fan of Seu Jorge, is extremely relatable.

Florence Welch of Florence and the Machine is indescribable on stage. Her energy and elegance are so tightly intertwined, she resembles something magical as she dances across the stage. This photo captures her exact essence, as well as conveying what watching her perform is like.

Artist: The 1975
Venue: Meadows Music Festival
City: New York City
Date: October 4
Photographer: Saidy Lopez
On their recent tour for their album, I like it when you sleep, for you are so beautiful yet so unaware of it, The 1975 have certainly been known for their stage production. Their lighting and visual effects are not easily captured on film, however, this photo seems to be exactly what the band had in mind for their desired effect. Lead singer Matty Healy’s emotional draws you in, and the set production only enhances the scene.
