Extracts from the book

"That's the paradox of the stage: self-confidence determines everything, and the absence of that confidence can change everything."
DJ Snake
"The silence after a concert is essential for me. [...] After those moments of excitement, where we give and receive immense energy, I always need a buffer to come back down. [...] I see it as a slide: a gradual, fluid descent."
Eddy de Pretto
"Concert photography is a thankless discipline. You have one single image to do what video cannot achieve with its 24 frames per second over an unlimited duration and with sound. You need to have a vision, stick to it, twist reality, and leave enough space and abstraction for the viewer to inject their own experience."
Justice
"The noise, the voices, that energy in the air... It grabs you in the gut, it pushes you to give everything. The sound of the audience, of the music, is like a pure adrenaline rush, a fire that burns and makes you forget everything else."
Louane
"The most intense energy, the strongest emotions are always infused by the audience. I need to be with them, in the midst of them, to remind that this experience, we create it together."
Martin Solveig
"After the light, there exists a silence where souls meet. A suspended time where every flash exhaled under the spotlight becomes clarity in the shadow."
Nikos Aliagas
"My second memorable moment is definitely DJ Snake at the Défense Arena. [...] The ambition of the show was incredible: an 8-meter high LED cage, a huge setup, that opened to reveal the artist. Snake started his entrance 10 meters above the ground, descending amidst a spectacular backdrop. This show was a one-off, a unique performance. Everything passed like in a dream."
Romain Pissenem
"Often, for a long time, I was afraid of silent audiences. It took me a long journey to understand that silence can be a gift, a listening ear, a hand extended to abandonment. »
