Billy Keane and the Lonely Soldiers...Take 2

The Billy Keane and the Lonely Soldiers photo-shoot series continues...
Today we strung up even more lights and added more continuous lighting with umbrellas. I shot these standing on a chair, trying to navigate umbrellas, in a very confined space. Very precarious, but very worth it. They are coming back for an outdoor photo-shoot next week. Send me your ideas! I'll be hitting the sketchbooks tomorrow.









The Farrel Goldberg Wedding

Here are a few select shots (from hundreds!) of the wedding of Sarah Goldberg and Mark Farrel. It was such a beautiful wedding, and I wish both of them happiness in their marriage!


Sarah looking ethereal amongst the trees.


My favorite shot!


Groomsmen.


Sarah and Dad walking down the aisle.

Beautiful Jocelyn


I dug up some old photographs from a photo-shoot I did, exploring some new lighting equipment. Here is a beauty shot of Jocelyn. I love the lighting here, and I hope to be able to recreate this with Billy Keane and the Lonely Soldiers (the band I am working with now). I will have to train them to "work the camera"!

Billy Keane and the Lonely Soldiers


I am doing a photo-shoot for the up-and-coming band, Billy Keene and the Lonely Soldiers. Their website forthcoming, but hopefully I will be able to post some links to their music in the next few weeks. I will be doing three photo-shoots with them with three different set-ups of my design. This is a very exciting project for me, and I have been madly sketching and testing lights and flashes.

This first photo-shoot called for a LOT of lights, and some good times taping, overloading electrical circuits, and trying to pose the guys in a very confined space! These are a few of the test shots. Today we'll be setting up even more lights, and hopefully getting some better shots.



This shot came out pretty grainy, but I like the idea of the futuristic black and white shot with lots of lights and reflective surfaces. The boys actually like the grainy, under-produced look, so maybe I will try to recreate this look in the official photo-shoot. Check back soon!
