Evaluation,
Overall I’ve been pleased with the way my project has gone, its enabled me to begin working in a professional manor and start to be able to work to a clients desires and needs. I found getting into the swing of the project was easy as I was basically caring on from com tech but taking it in a new direction. I decided that I needed to have some guts about what I was doing and...

PLAN for the next week
over the next week i want to try and get one location shoot done and one studio shoot done, i have two bands lined up for both, and i’m hoping i can get it organized and completed to hand in on the final deadline day. i have already shown my preparation for the location shoot on my blog (see the shots from in the basement), and i’ve had ideas for the studio shoot.
for the studio...

best laid plans of mice and men...
i had planned to do a sort of horror based shoot with Jon Jones and the beatnicks movement but unfortunately their drummer left and it seemed pointless to take pictures of the remaining members without a new drummer being in place. i wanted to do something similar to the Arnold Newman shot below, using a noose as a prop, but making the photos darker to match the image of the band.

business card..
this is sort of a first attempt at a business card, i want to keep it real simple, i dont think it could get much more simple than this.
Side brief...

i forgot to put this one up the other day, we’d been talking in our crits about showing the relationship between the band and the crowd. with the last set of photos i did at the thrash and burn tour i wanted to focus more on crowd band interaction as it’s something i’ve not really managed to get in any of my other photos.
Photos for Bleeding Through
more on flickr
Photos for Darkest Hour
more on flickr, same as what i said for BTM.
Photos for Beneath the massacre
there’s more on my flickr page. i used a flash gun for the first time with some of these, but it started to piss me off by the end as it took an age to charge after each shot. i’m really pleased with how the shots have turned out, the lighting in the venue rarely lent itself to non flash photography but i think with all the movement going on, on stage it would have been hard to get a...
