I got the chance of photographing this band when I was living in London. It was a Gothic nightclub and because the lights were very dim I didn’t want to use a flash (didn’t want to disturb the mood), depending exclusively on the stage lights.

Now, if you shoot digital you’ll say “so what?”. If you shoot on film, which was my case on this occasion, then you have an idea of how many shots were completely wasted. That time, I shot 4 rolls to get about 5-6 good shots. It was a great experience though.

    Wonderful image – just love the way the guitar is so subtle in the image – the pose says it all!

    Thanx Paul. This is one of my favourite shots. It’s very simple, but the light plays so well against the player… Also, it was really hard to capture, which makes it more rewarding for me.

    Cheers guys. Thank you Jessica – photography is my therapy, and I always try to put a bit of what I feel in them. Take this shot, for instance: at the time I was really into the Gothic scene in London. The “Dead Roses” shot, in the other hand, was shot during a very depressing time for me.

    You must be very proud of this as all that time and film was well worth it.

    This shot is great, it was well worth those wasted rolls of film! You have captured a really sexy pose. It would make a great iconic poster:)

    Thank you Sarah – and yes, she was sexy, either because of the pose or not :)

    Michael: Cheers – you’re right, I am quite proud of this shot, and it was well worth it. Sorry for thanking you so late.
