Cute Is What We Aim For at the Riviera Theatre in North Tonawanda.
This is the first time I have been to this venue, and it was definitely a good experience. I was unable to get credentials through the band due to lack of response, so I contacted the venue. They were nice enough to let me shoot and comp me a ticket. The lighting was at par with the best venues around here, and the theatre and sound were excellent. I definitely will be keeping an eye out for more shows here.

This is my favorite shot from todays shoot. This shot and a couple others will be used for promotional material for Artpark’s Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. Let me know what you think. Also, looking for ideas for what to do with the background.
Joseph
This shot was done with 3x hotshoe flashes on HSS with an STE2. Left light in a shoot thru umbrella and the other 2 are bare.

I finally decided that I was sick of my crappy design and put a new one up. The logo will be changed eventually, that’s just a placeholder for now I think.
The Blog will be changed to the new design soon, once I figure out how to integrate it is obviously integrated into the main website now rather than being a separate entity. This was done to get rid of the splash page you got when going to the main website before forcing you to chose between portfolio and blog. Please leave comments with your thoughts on the new design, both positive and negative will be appreciated.
Shot my cousins band last night. First time I’ve picked up my camera in a few months due to my busy schedule. Hopefully there will be plenty more to come in the future.
AB’s behind at 45 degrees with standard reflectors. AB ring flash, and softbox high 45 to the right of the band.
The shoot was done both as the entire band (which looks like that’s what they ran) and was done as individual members to do a composite (easier to light people individually than as a group of 5). Pat is so short so he had to stand on a box so thats why he looks like the tallest one in the group. Time ran out at the end so the Hurley ad was done quickly, same lighting setup but with the black backdrop.
After the shoot we cleaned up the hotel conference room as the band went to the venue to get ready. We arrived at the venue during The Maine’s second song unfortunately so I didn’t get to do too much shooting of them. The Maine, ATL and Mayday were great of course. We went up to the dressing room afterward to talk for a little bit then went over to Mighty Taco (Tim wanted to eat something he couldn’t get at home in Arizona).
Tim obviously couldn’t take the 2×12 foot rolls of seamless paper on the flight home with him so I decided to take them home with me. Let me tell you a little something about 12 foot rolls of paper.
They are not meant to be transported in a ford contour.
They are not meant to be transported in a ford contour in the winter with the windows down not being able to see out of the passengers side window because it is blocked by 2 rolls of paper sticking 2 feet out the side of the vehicle.
Doing all of this while it is snowing and about 10 degrees out, with an approximately 40 minute drive home.
