Hi, I’m Erin Terlier, a passionate photographer based in Belgium (and London). My work focuses primarily on concert photography but I also love shooting portraits.

My approach is all about capturing moments that speak for themselves — whether it’s the chaos of a live show or the quiet vulnerability of a portrait. Photography is my way of documenting stories, emotions, and connections.

Despite their huge rise to fame, The Last Dinner Party balance intimacy and enormity at recent Brussels gig

Seeing The Last Dinner Party live still feels like watching a small band in bloom, especially in the way they interact so generously and playfully with the crowd. There’s an intimacy in their presence, a sense of closeness that makes the venue feel smaller than it is.

And yet the numbers tell a different story: they’ve built a real, devoted fanbase, selling out Forest National, an 8,400-capacity venue. That contrast, intimacy within enormity, is part of what makes their shows so compelling.

Everyone seemed completely drawn into their world and, for two hours, we were just basking in it. The drama in every movement and expression never felt forced, always perfectly matching the mood of each song. Each track had its own atmosphere, and they embodied each one effortlessly, shifting from intensity to vulnerability in a way that seemed natural rather than staged.

Every member of the band brought something special to the stage, each carving out her own moment to shine. Whether through theatrical gestures, powerful vocals, or finely detailed guitar lines, every presence felt vital to the collective magic of the performance. There was no single focal point; instead, it was the synergy between them that elevated the show.

The loudest reactions of the night were reserved for ‘Feminine Urge‘ and ‘Nothing Matters,‘ with the latter closing the show on a euphoric high. As the final chorus echoed through the venue, it didn’t just feel like the end of a concert, it felt like a defining moment for a band that’s clearly stepping into something much bigger.
