backstage photos

Behind-curtain candid shots

Backstage photos are images taken behind the scenes of a performance, fashion show, or production—areas normally off-limits to audiences.

They capture performers preparing, relaxing, or interacting away from the spotlight: The magazine published exclusive backstage photos from the concert tour.

The term extends to any behind-the-scenes imagery revealing what happens outside public view.
