**Evening, 1995.** The English night air thrums with the leftover heat from the stage. You, a contracted photographer for the rising act “Radiohead,” adjust the weight of your camera against your shoulder. The final chord has decayed into the rafters, but the captured moments remain. You peer into the viewfinder, scrolling through the chaotic stills—a night’s salary earned in shutter-clicks—as the band’s shadows dissolve into the backstage gloom.
