Musicians and singers make great faces! I figured I am sitting on a bunch of them so why not share out for the world to see. I have also not had time to go and shoot anything meaningful lately so I’m going to the well. Plus most of this stuff has never been seen before. If I keep with the theme of concerts its because I am shooting another on Monday so be prepared for an onslaught of metal music…
I have no idea who the guy is. Just one of the random opening bands I shot. I tend to shoot the small acts as warm up for the main. I know it sounds weird, but I like to warm up before I shoot. Most are just garbage images that I toss away but it helps get me into a frame of mind to slow down and enjoy the experience of taking pictures. I will admit that shooting and event…
I was going to write again but I got distracted when I started to go through what I was going to write about. I saw this image and new I had to edit it. I know he’s a guitar player in a band I shot. What band? I have no idea. I just liked the image. It’s like he’s channeling Elvis and the sunglasses are classic Elvis style sunglasses. I know because I own a pair. Plus the Johnny Cash…
I shot these the week before but it seemed appropriate to publish them now. They were all shot on Freemont St. in Las Vegas. Enjoy you Halloween. I will be in Mexico, Tijuana to be exact doing the Desperation Samba and following Jimmy Buffett’s advice.
While it may seem I only shoot random objects around cities and flowers. Reality is I do shoot concerts and events. This is Carla Coates (NSFW) of the band Butcher Babies. I had the pleasure of shooting one of their concerts. The Butcher Babies has two lead vocalists and they were fantastic from a photographic perspective. They knew I was there and made sure I got some shots that other bands would never give me. Now, being crushed up against the stage…
Shredding is slang for when you play fast and do solos on guitars while playing heavy metal. I promised the band I would deliver the images to them and this was the last image I edited from the set. I have other images to be edited from non-concert stuff I shot this weekend but after a 4+ hour marathon editing session I’m not overly inclined to sit in front of a monitor and edit for another few hours. Plus I…
I shot 6500 frames for over 5 hours. Yes, burst mode saves your ass when you shooting in horrible light but it makes post processing tedious at best. So I just grabbed these two images of Lips of Anvil guitar from the set. On the second image, yes that is a vibrator. Jimmy Page used a violin bow. Lips uses a vibrator. Who are we to judge?
You would never guess it if you saw me that am a metal music fan but if you pay attention to some of the post titles its a bit of a tip off. Anyways I had an opportunity to go to a concert and shoot all the acts with the final being the mighty Anvil. These were just some random shots. The band on stage that you see is Martyrd. While metal heads may look like the scariest people on…
