Since 2005, photographer Matthias Willi and journalist Olivier Joliat managed to inspire about 100 bands to take part in their project. Their efforts have culminated in the publication of their book entitled, The Moment After the Show.

Next to the photos, the artists get their say while the authors also describe how they managed to get such intimate shots. Details on how the shots were set up and memorable experiences during the project are also included. It’s an interesting glimpse into a special moment many of us will never get to experience.
