Backstage at an Iconic Music Festival with Ben Staley & LUMIX

Behind the strings, beneath the stage lights, and beyond the roar of the crowd—this is the hidden heartbeat of the Telluride Bluegrass Festival. I was granted rare, behind-the-scenes access to capture exclusive portraits of the artists, road crews, and dreamers who make this legendary gathering hum. Shot in fleeting moments between soundchecks and sunsets, these portraits reveal the raw humanity, grit, and grace that live inside the music.

This presentation is a celebration of soul, sound, and the timeless faces of American music—seen not from the audience, but from the wings.

Presented by Kenmore Camera's Digital Photo Expo and Panasonic Lumix

November 7th - 9th, 2025

Ben Staley is an Emmy-winning Cinematographer, Producer, award-winning Director and Photographer.

Growing up in rural Alaska without the luxury of electricity or running water Ben is “comfortable” in some of the most difficult and challenging environments on the planet. Ben has worked everywhere from the high mountains of Alaska and Peru to the deserts of the Middle East, the African Bush, the Jungles of Southeast Asia and the Amazon, and even into the very most remote and deadly corners of Northern Siberia.
