Had a peek behind the scenes for the last Coldplay concert of their Ghost Stories Tour at the the Royal Albert Hall as my wife is artist Mila Fürstová who created the art for Ghost Stories based on Chris Martin’s lyrics. Moments before they went on stage the band signed some editions of Mila’s art which will be auctioned to raise money for the charity Kids Company. After the signing the band invited her in the pre-show huddle, where Chris thanked her for the artwork she’s produced.

These are great!! Can I ask why you shot in black and white, even though the concert must have been very colourful?
Hi Fiona, I thought B&W was more atmospheric for documentary / behind the scenes images. For the concert itself I thought it would be interesting to stick to black and white to show a different aspect as I knew there would be thousands of colour images of the concert taken that night. If you’d like to see it in colour here are the official shots http://www.coldplay.com/newsdetail.php?id=1641
Hi Quintin – Thanks! I think the B&W works really well, especially for the backstage shots.
