Update 10/8/10

posted in Photography, blog Friday, October 08, 2010

These are a couple images from shoots I have done the past two months.  More coming, just a couple for now.

With Alexis I was shooting with two lights and getting alright results.  Then I just sat back and noticed how much better the natural light hit her.  She has incredible glassy eyes.  I moved my soft-box as close to her face as possible, using it as a bounce.  The sun at her back gave her nice highlights and bouncing off the white soft-box just gave a beautiful reflection in her eyes..

With Sabina, I was just overflowing light in from a massive window.  I was using a light through the back door to blowout the back room and create a small rim light.  Without the flash it was just a black square.  Even though she was completely relaxed, her shoulder looks a bit awkward.  Besides that, I was very happy with the outcome.  I will always love some good natural source light when it’s available.

KISS

posted in Music, Photography, blog Monday, October 04, 2010

I was fortunate enough to be given a KISS photo pass at their show.  Seemed kind of surreal getting to shoot such a historical band like KISS.  From the get go I knew these photos were going to look the best.  This was my favorite set from Epicenter and one of my favorite sets to date.  I knew I only had two songs to get everything I needed, so I rushed around a ton. If any of you wonder why they give us a song limit, it’s so we aren’t standing in front of all the kids who have been waiting all day to see them.  We get a couple songs and then we leave.  Also some bands just don’t like photographers.  Hard to perform when you look down and have a sea of cameras and lenses in your face.  There is about a good 10 foot barrier between the stage and the crowd that all the photographers stand in.  Anyways, during the last moments of the 2nd song I noticed Gene Simmons look in my direction.  Then he proceeded to point directly at me.  I snapped about 5 photos before he looked away.  Immediately after, I felt someone tapping on my back.  I turned around and the guy behind me said “DUDE, PLEASE TELL ME YOU GOT THAT!”  I love when bands have fun and interact with everyone, including photographers.  Needless to say I was very stoked to capture that moment. Thanks!
