Event

The Vogue Collective. A brand new female band.

Hi all,

I was asked the other week to take some photos of a new fantastic girl group, who were having their debut night.

I googled the venue to try and get a feel for what the place had to offer. Great I thought!

I rocked up with a view in my mind of the venue and what shots I want. 

In reality - I turn up and was gob smacked at just how dark this place was!

The pictures off google now I realise must have been taken while the venue was closed, with all the lights on.

Certainly a good lesson to myself and something that I will be looking for in the future.

The stage was harshly lit with an incredibly dirty backdrop. So some serious post processing was needed.

The following images are of the girls, who I have to admit, were very good, and I will be looking forward to see them perform again.

Vogue Collective consists of 5 god looking women who write and sing great songs.

In MY opinion they are not a cheesy girlie pop group, they certainly ooze talent and passion at what they do.

Look out for them and if they are playing in your town – go and see for your self, it will be a great evening.

The following images were lit by the huge flash light on the video guys video camera, which was great but for this to work you have to think fast and watch the scene set up infront of you.

A few words from the girls

“A new female band with a DIFFERENCE. Outstanding vocals, breath-taking performances, great songs.

This is NO girl group.

These are Five talented 'all Women' singers with a passion to succeed!

First event shoot.

Well where to start with this one,

I was asked by my Cousin and his Mrs, if I could document the Naming Ceremony of their gorgeous little boy.

I was very excited to be given this challenge, 

but then you get the guilt, 

"will i be good enough", 

"can i produce the goods", 

on one hand you think its fine as they are family and not paying customers, but just as fast you think this, 

its then you realise that being family, you know everyone who will be looking through your work and showing it off, so the pressure is even greater.

Deep down people who know me, know that I do enjoy pressure, and so I looked very forward and enjoyed the day massively.

One down fall i found though was that, i enjoy the documentary style of pictures and not posed. 

If i see a shot i then take it, but i noticed after the event, i got the images printed off into a book. The feel of the book was greatly received by most, but some were upset as they didn't make it into the book. Looks like this might be a problem at events, as not everyone is in a good picture and im not wanting to take a picture for pictures sake.
