I hand the opportunity to capture some promotional images for the newly formed band Boomerang based in the Lakes the band preforms at events and pubs so i wanted to create images for the band that would show them as bing at home at a wedding as much as in a bar.
While Bootlegger the venue offered the rustic pub feeling They also had a full lighting set which allowed me to give the band a cleaner brighter look than fits in with a wedding while keeping the a edgier pub look.
I wanted to get a broad image of the band so I looked to get some close up detailed images of the equipment, The colour of the stage lighting and use of a wide aperture has created some nice interest with in the images.
With the stage lighting changing with the music it was a challenge to shoot quickly while keeping the quality as high as possible, the Red lighting was patchily strong and would blow out images. While shooting the band I looked to get a minute of wide group shots and individual portraits. the group shots had the challenge of getting every one in with a good perspective.
Overall it was a very enjoyable shoot and the band sounded great, I look forward to seeing more of them when you start gigging in February.
