I had the honor of photographing Kaizers Orchestra at Stavanger Stadion. I moved across the arena, from the stage to the pit and through the stands, capturing every angle of a show bursting with raw energy. Few bands can ignite a crowd like Kaizers. Gas masks, pounding oil barrels, thunderous sing-alongs and constant interaction turned the night into pure magic. It was not just a concert, it was proof that Kaizers Orchestra is one of the world’s greatest live bands.

Morten Rygaard is a photographer who does not stop at dreaming. His camera takes his viewers on a journey where the dialectics of can and cannot are erased, and suspends them in a space where anything is possible. His photographs are used for advertising, album covers, magazine covers and for editorial use.
