I was invited to photograph a local band’s recording session. I had been to the studio before so I knew what to expect from the lighting conditions; I made sure I packed my trusty SB-800 flash units. The 5 piece band Lightbox had already been setting up and recording for few hours by the time I had arrived.
I shot while they were recording which is always a creative process; the lads are concentrating on their music too much to notice me. They took a break to do some scenic shots of them in a nearby field which was an amazing location which I will definitely use again. I was not happy about the lights outside ironically as I’m normally adjusting lights indoors; that Sunday afternoon was overcast, the vast blanket of gray cloud made it very difficult to find shadow and contrast. However, after some adjustments in Adobe Lightroom I came up with some shots I am satisfied with.
The lads didn’t want me to post them online with the exception of one of my choosing, and I’m not allowed to post the really good ones either!!!
Have you seen the photos of LB in the passworded folder?
