Went out to 3700 Main to take some shots of The El Orbits for possible use on the upcoming new album as well as other promotional material.
Let me tell you, shooting for fun is one thing, shooting on spec is a different animal entirely. I shoot in my own particular style and “as my mood dictates.” I capitalize on opportune lighting and subject matter and I do it for my own pleasure.
Setting up a shot and trying for a specific effect combined with dealing with various personalities makes me edgy. Of course they’re all friends and that helps. But still, I get stage fright from behind the camera if that makes any sense.
I have a ton of photos to process this week. These two jumped out right off the bat:
We’ll see how they stand up after I’ve had a chance to more fully review what I’ve got.
I dig that first pic. It almost is begging to be black and white with only the ties and blue parts of the dress colorized… or something.
Great shots.
I agree the first one is more to my liking. The B/W idea isn’t bad either.
