KAL stage at Brutal Assault is dedicated to alternative and experimental music genres. It provides space for bands combining various styles, offering avant-garde takes on metal and rock, distinct from the festival's main acts. In my photos, I aim to capture the emotions of people experiencing the concert right in the heart of the action, down in the pit beneath the stage. Using a small Ricoh GR, I documented both the energy on stage and the intense atmosphere below. Welcome to the Pit!

Independent photographer specializing in documentary, reportage, and street photography. Capturing the intersection of place, situation, and story, with a focus on authenticity and unfiltered reality. Primarily working with a 28mm lens, staying close to the scene, moving through it rather than zooming in. The work often pushes personal boundaries, striving to depict the world as it truly is, raw and unedited.
