The Grand - First Live Photography Session
On the 21st, we went up to The Grand in Clitheroe to photography 4 live music acts; I was really optimistic because it was the first time I'd photographed live music before. It was a lot more difficult than I'd first expected, mainly due to little things like the musicians faces in shots.
The most difficult part was probably the massive difference in lighting compared to any of my previous work. The lights were multicoloured, rapidly changing in intensity and position, and the subjects were lit from behind instead of in front. I expected a lot of silhouette styled photographs from the night, but the reflected light lit the musicians fronts well enough.
I really enjoyed the experience, and would definitely shoot more live music. After taking more than 650 photographs, I narrowed my selection down to 23 images, most of which I turned monochrome via Adobe Photoshop. Some of the originals were high contrast and bright enough to use, due to the bright coloured lights.
