Noha Saré at Melkweg Amsterdam

Thursday Februari 20 2025, I had the pleasure of photographing the mesmerizing Amsterdam singer Noha Saré during her performance in de Up room at Melkweg in Amsterdam. This intimate venue provided the perfect setting for her powerful voice and captivating stage presence. One of the best aspects of shooting in this space was the freedom to move around. The layout allowed me to find different angles, capturing both wide shots of the full stage and close-ups of Noha’s emotional expressions.

From the moment she stepped onto the stage, her commanding presence and natural elegance captivated the entire audience. Noha’s unique talent lifts up the venue, creating an atmosphere that is both intimate and electric.

The concert was a perfect storm of musical artistry and visual spectacle. The lights danced in sync with the music, casting dramatic shadows and bursts of color that made every moment feel cinematic.

Alongside Noha, five talented singers from the ZO! gospel choir accompanied her, each contributing a distinct vocal harmony that elevated the performance to new heights.

As a photographer, capturing such an immersive experience was both a challenge and a thrill. I found myself constantly oscillating between being drawn into the spellbinding lyrics and maintaining focus on my camera. The music was so powerful and the performance so enthralling that I had to remind myself to stay present behind the lens. Every fleeting expression on Noha’s face, every subtle shift in the stage lighting, was a detail I wanted to immortalize. The challenge was to capture the raw emotion and dynamic energy of the concert without losing the precision required for great photography.

Throughout the concert, I periodically check my photos. When reviewing the photos later on my PC, I was thrilled to see how well they encapsulated the magic of the night. Each image tells its own story—a story of passion, artistry, and the unforgettable energy that defined the performance. I invite you to explore the gallery below to experience the concert through my lens. For an even more in-depth look, be sure to visit my concert photography page where you can view additional shots.

Enjoy the photos, and thank you for joining me on this visual journey!
