I was looking for bands to volunteer to help me out. I needed to shoot a band for portfolio images, and I found the PERFECT band. Kill Matilda!
They were a hoot to shoot, they were open to anything and definitely were not shy in front of the camera. I also had a great makeup artist come on board to help out with the shoot. Very proffesional, clear communicator. Her name is Grace Schoorl ( http://www.modelmayhem.com/405930 ) I would recommend her to any photographer, actually I have already recommended her to fellow photographer Thomas Arne Strand ( http://www.thomasarnestrand.com/) he also assisted me for during this shoot. He did an amazing job, and helped me so much with the lighting. Lighting turned out exaclly how I had envisioned it in my head.
We shot two different sets. First set was backlit with a blue gel, which created long shadows that covered the foreground. We started off by shooting Dusty and Mar, the faces of Kill Matilda. We later brought in the two boys, Mykel and Marcus, to do some group shots in the same set up. WAS A BLAST! Got a variety of looks, and emotions, quite great! We later switched over to the individual head shot set up. There we had the band members backlit with some split lighting. I'll post two photos from the shoot up here.
The next week Thomas and I went to check out their show over at the fairview pub! it was fantastic what a great set! they sound amazing live, and Dusty's raw, classic rock vocals impressed the hell out of me, she rocks hard! Fantastic!!
I'm so happy with the results and i'm using three images from this shoot in my final portfolio. I can't wait to get this career started and start shooting more talented musicians! :D
