Sometimes I choose to photograph an artist or band that I’ve never heard of before. I like to do that because more often than not you get a very nice surprise. It’s a bit like a Sneak Preview, and I kinda love that. It happened to be a very nice surprise with the “Zita Swoon...
The Joy Formidable @ Den Atelier
posted by Tom
I was a bit disappointed to see that the venue was not sold out for a band the likes of Joy Formidable. But there were scheduling issues which led to a huge delay and I think a lot of people didn’t wait. The sound of Joy Formidable was quite different from what you can hear on the CD. But that’s not necessarily bad. Ritzy Bryan is a bundle of energy on stage and delivers an impressive show. On a technical note: The light was really tough on this one. One really bright spot on Ritzy Bryan at all times tend to make the rest of the stage really dark on the pictures. There were also a lot of magentas but luckily no reds. I used...

Silbermond live @ The Rockhal

Should you like their music a tiny bit and want an awesome show to go to, …. well don’t miss them. On a technical note: The light was awesome. I was stunned when I realized I was shooting at 1/640th ….. there were some moments of weird LED lighting and the drummer was quite hidden in the shadows, but all in all it was a very well lit show. I used the 70-200 F2.8 and the 28-75F2.8 for this...

What can I say, …. you need to see Herman Li on stage to believe it’s possible to play guitar as fast as he does! I’ve seen my share of impressive artists. Herman Li ranks amongst my Top 5 so far. You don’t get enough of him once he’s warmed up and into his...

The East Sussex Band is currently touring to promote their new album : Strangeland. I was quite amazed at the chose venue as it is not a regular place for bands to perform. The show was sold out though and based on the cheers of the crowd people were pleased last night. I for one was quite...
