Swillmerchants @ MaxCap

I got to photograph the Swillmerchants (check 'em out, they're awesome) last Saturday. I'd never been to Maximum Capacity in Chicopee, it was a good venue with sweet lights and a fog machines, the adjacent bar and downstairs had a weird vibe though. I brought my pocket wizards, which i was eager to try out, and 580 speedlight. I put a blue gel on the speedlight and placed it on a big box on the side of the stage towards the back to create a rim light on one side of the musicians, it worked out pretty well.

coming soon: Swillmerchants @ MaxCap

New Posts to Flickr

Just updated my flickr! check it out. Tomorrow i'll be shooting an Environmental still life in the commercial studio. My girlfriend has a line of crafty things that i'll set up next to her sewing machine, hoping to light it to look like morning light is filtering through a window, maybe throw a steaming cup of tea in there too! Today we had Greg Heislers class, playing with home depot fluorescent fand tungsten bulbs. It was tons of fun and had great results, can't wait to get the time and spare change to head over to the hardware store. Haven't had much time for post, but heres a little version of what we did in class today:



P.s. be sure to check back for the podcasts to my radio show!
