When i arrive at a job the first thing i think of is where am i going to take the image and what is the lighting like?. To photograph the Californian band 'Venice' i had my work cut out!
On this occasion all i had to work with was an empty dark auditorium with a curtain in the background which was also in darkness, the band were due to go on stage in about 15 minutes so i quickly put a light up on a stand to light the band members and also put a light further back to rake along the curtains at an angle.
As all the band members were not ready for a group shot i decided to photograph each one separately, then bring them together in Photoshop for the final image to appear in a magazine the main image at the top of the page.
I used a amber gel on them to give them a bit of colour against the blue background to emphasize their sunny Californian image. I took some images of them performing but the above image was the lead image in the magazine.
Definately something out of nothing!
