An Electrifying Night: Mensa’s Performance at Tolhuistuin Through My Lens

On Saturday, February 15, 2025, I had the privilege of photographing the high-energy performance of Dutch rapper Mensa at Tolhuistuin. The night was a spectacular blend of music, dance, and visual effects, making it an unforgettable experience.

Mensa at Tolhuistuin

Mensa, known for his infectious beats and vibrant stage presence, delivered a show that captivated the audience from start to finish. His music, a fusion of hip-hop and afrobeats, created a festive atmosphere where no one could stand still.

The stage was packed with a DJ, dancers, and several guest artists, adding depth to the performance. The synergy between Mensa and his fellow performers was undeniable and contributed to the electrifying energy of the night. The lighting played a crucial role as well; while red lights dominated the scene, the mix of different colors made for an engaging visual experience.

As a photographer, I was fortunate to capture the event from both the floor and the balcony. The elevated position provided an unique perspective and had the added benefit of reducing the impact of the smoke machines used throughout the show. This allowed me to take crisp and clear shots despite the challenging lighting conditions.

The combination of Mensa’s dynamic performance, the diverse supporting acts, and the enthusiastic crowd made this concert an absolute highlight to photograph. Capturing such energetic moments is exactly what makes this job so exciting and rewarding.
