A friend of mine is the 16-year-old lead singer/songwriter for the band EyeKnife. I've been following them around with a camera for a while; here are a few of the photos I've taken.
Here's a video from the band I've been following around.
The band played Picnic Day at UC Davis, and I chased them down with the camera.
It was wonderful to take pictures in daylight, and not have to spend all of my time with the lens WFO. This is my favorite from the show-- I love the motion of the drumsticks with everything else perfectly still.
Unfortunately, I didn't get any really good pictures of Caroline, since she was always behind a microphone with her mouth open.
A friend's daughter is the lead singer for the band EyeKnife. She's just barely 16, but she has an amazing voice and a lot of drive, and I think she has a lot of potential. I've been following the band around with a camera, trying to get great photos in dimly-lit clubs. Working with low light is an interesting challenge, both in shooting and in post-processing.
The band wanted a promo photo to send out with a press packet, so I started digging through my archives to see what I had.
I was really fond of CarolineCloseup (though not quite this glowing edit of it), but her dad vetoed that.
Several people were fond of this image, but it didn't really work well on its own-- it was flat and busy and just not all that impressive by itself. It was too low-contrast to really have enough punch, and I didn't think I could find enough drama to make it work by itself.
And finally, a lot of people liked this one, but I didn't think it did a very good job of showcasaing her-- the bass player in the backgkround was distracting, the equipment was distracting, and it just wasn't a very pleasing photo to look at. However, since it was taken with flash, it worked pretty well in color.
I went off to Photoshop, and spent a couple of hours pretending to be a wizard-- isolating and desaturating and burning and cropping and adding borders and, well, just mucking about to see what I could get. I'm pretty proud of the end result; as an 8x10 glossy, it's absolutely killer.
