"Before the Spotlight" is a photographic series where artists are captured in their unguarded moments as they prepare for performances. This project sheds light on the hidden, authentic facets of their lives—moments of calm, focus, and vulnerability, free from costumes and makeup. The series explores themes of authenticity, humanizing artists by showcasing their routines and rituals. It offers a rare glimpse into the artistic process, revealing the dedication and preparation behind the scenes. Through this photography series, I aim to craft a unique narrative about the world of performing arts.
