Band Promo

I shot a mock band recently for an applied commerical assignment, as well as for my portfolio.
Rounded up some of the finest for mock band and shoot. I want to thank Nick Bradley (http://www.modifiedexpressions.com/ ) , my brother Gabe, and my friends Jessica and Yuta, for particpating and helping out! You guys made a great band! haha.

I had a clear idea of what i wanted these images to look like. The whole purpose of the assignment was to pre visualize and plan your ideas ahead of time. I think i executed it quite well, and i am quite happy with it!

This was also a great time to shoot, because of course the subjects where all my friends and already felt comfortable with me, so i didn't have to gain rapport, we already had that connection. So we started off quite slow with the studio set up, which was fun! We did various expressions ranging from the horns and some tougne wagging to some more serious expressions. Once we were done that we took some shots up on the roof the the studio. We had to get all the equiptment and ourselves through a tiny window that was up high. It was probably half a meter by half a meter. TINY opening! Haha had some troubles getting through the damn thing, but i made it through! Up on the roof we played around with action shots having the guys jump around jessica freezing them, well almost freezing them mid air. We shot for a total of around 2 or 3 hours, had a fantastic time with bunch!

In a few days i'll post some images i took of the band Kill Matilda. We had a band promo shoot, which ended up going really well! That will be up some time next week actually, but for now i'll leave you with an image from the mock band shoot.
