Wow, what a big weekend… It started with a band shoot, then a midsumma burlesque shoot where I stalked Adrian on his first real photography gig, then a gay pride march shoot and then I totally crashed into bed and today I feel really yuck (not hung over in case you were presuming, just bloody tired). Anyways, I have only had a few minutes to even look at my shots from the first two shoots. I’m really new to this concept of event photogrpahy. As in where people are relying on you to produce something more artistic than a happy snap. So here are a few of my shots from Saturday evening. Constructive criticism, comments, advice all very welcome. I want to learn! Here is the full gallery

Crazy musical duo Jase From Outta Space and Skirtchaser (the names say it all!) asked fellow bubbler James and I to come ‘round and talk ideas for some promo shots after their manager aeris saw our work on RedBubble. We’re still working out when to do the ‘proper shoot’ but these impromptu test shots have already got our creative juices flowing. ...This is a mix of both our shots if you were wondering

I want to start off by saying that I am not a fan of flash. I avoid using flash like the plague because I feel it ruins the atmosphere. Ambient lighting is much more attractive than images captured with flash, especially the usual pop up flash of most D-SLR cameras. Shooting bands in basements and garages has forced me to find ways of retaining some atmosphere, while still being able to get the clarity I need in my photos. Over the last couple months most of the local bands have to to expect great photos from me regardless of the lighting. I always meter first and get the white balance where I need it and ask that the bands that want photos taken keep the lights on for at least one song so that I can get some photos with available light. Time after time I find I like the atmosphere much more in the available light shots. The problem is bands tend to play in the dark, and when they don’t, the lighting is still miserably inadequate. Well, the pop up flash can be used to retain some of that atmosphere and appear almost as available light when used right. In the dark, the camera will strobe the flash to assist focusing. This is a good opportunity to preview something else. You can direct the light from your pop up flash very easily with your hand. The strobing will show you what areas you are shadowing with your hand and allow you to illuminate exactly what you want to. Try different positions and contortions with your hand to direct the flash light where you need it in different situations. Like where the flash will hit something in the foreground that you don’t want in the shot and cause the rest to be underexposed. Just cup your hand over the flash and force it to shadow that obstruction to eliminate it from the shot and create a more effective atmosphere. It can also help when you plan to do some post processing and make a certain subject the focus of an image.

Pair artwork with lyrics of favorite songs, individuals or groups. List in the forum 5-10 of your favorite bands and performers. It will be interesting to see how many of the members in our group share the same passion for a particular vocalist, song writer and/or band. I have paired several of my photographs with lyrics from some very talented artists including: Bob Dylan, Pink, Iron Maiden, Michael Jackson, Carly Simon, Billy Joel, Maria Muldaur, Doors, Cat Stevens, Elton John etc. I have a file of many lyrics that I will pair with photographs that fit the theme of my photographic image. Music is a universal language to be shared. I have observed some artists painting the lyrics of songs as well as CD covers, one of the most underestimated art forms. The winner of this challenge will win their choice of a $20 voucher from Red bubble, the book published by Red Bubble, “In The Moment” or your choice of any card of one of the members of our group. I want to solidify the group experience by supporting our members and selling their cards is very encouraging and reinforcing. My hope is that every member has a card sold during their membership in this group. Also future gifts will be donations to charities that afflict our members to promote research and more effective treatments for medical and psychological disorders. Please submit your art paired with lyrics from your favorite artists by May 15th.

I had the absolute pleasure of shooting Cathy Cavolo’s band on Saturday. We spent a while trudging through alleys in Kensington playing dress-ups, and later on, I shot the band performing at Hardimans Pub. They are a fun outfit, and definitely recommended for that crazy party you may have coming up. Since Cathy has yet to see any of my photos, these are a teaser for her as well ;) / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / Blatant Advertisement: / I am available for hire – mail me :)

Adrian Carmody the unbelievable talented photographer known for his unique ability to stay focused in mosh pits has turned his hand to philanthropy. No that’s not stamp collecting but giving money to those who need it for no other reason than well, they need it. He’s already joined the hall of fame by buying the world’s most expensive card / But oh no being a great bloke isn’t enough for our Adrian. He’s just become an awesome bloke by buying three more. Let me tell you what that means. It means people get a chance. A chance to be healed, nurtured and loved. A bit of heaven in hell. Congo and Rwanda are under fire people are suffering ‘cos they were born in the wrong part of the world. If you think $30 does nothing you’re wrong. It does everything if you consider love everything. And man can Adrian shoot great pics. Check out his stuff here but also on his website… His band shots are amazing. I know there’s lottsa band members out there in the bub. Seriously this is the guy who should be shooting your stuff. He manages light so well and captures emotion beautifully. This guy wreaks of talent, and soul. Thanks Adrian x That’s one more beer I owe…and yes, yes, yes John Robb (the originator of this idea) I owe you too!
