The Blackberry Bushes Stringband is a really good North West based band that I photographed late this Summer on a bright sunny morning. The Sun provided plenty of backlight. It was windy, so I just added a key light high on camera left (an Einstein head with a handheld large diffuser), a set up that is easy to work with two assistants who know what to do (hey Danny and Ashley).
This set is a good example of how sometimes I try an idea on a test shoot and then I apply it
with a client. The image I blogged about a few months ago used a distressed background and warm colors to give the feeling of 'Old West'*
The BBSs loved the idea ...and j added the owl and the Budda's head. They were also adventurous enough to stand in the water with their instruments for the sake of making the image more captivating (photographers love adventurous subjects!). We were done by 10am, just in time for brunch...
*I make sure to keep a standard, version in the archive, just in case.
