01.21.09Adventures in Flash – How to shoot a guitarToday I have been playing around with lighting concepts to show off my nice new ESP LTD EC-1000. Two things really got me fired up for trying these ideas out. The first was a tutorial from DPS on blackening backgrounds in portraits. Pretty solid concept and a really great technique which could help you make quick portraits with little to hand. The second is one of my favourite photographers, Chad Coombs. There are so many things that make Coombs one of the greatest in the field. unparalled eye for composition, diverse subjects, experimentation, photo manipulation, but for me his greatest aspect is ...

01.16.09Buyers Guide Pt II – Nifty at Fifty?The Nifty Fifty or a 50mm f1.8 camera lens is heralded as being one of the best portrait lenses you can purchase. There are many reasons for this, such as its shallow depth of field, affordable price mark and that it is fast glass. This means it has a wide aperture - you can shoot at a higher shutter speed. There is absolutely no reason why, every single person who owns an SLR camera shouldn't have one of these lenses in their arsenal. It is versatile, compact and produces killer results. Shot at f1.8 see the killer background effect Get to the point Andy... ...

01.11.09The buyers guide to Concert Photography Part IOne topic rears its ugly, mutated face every week without fail across the many message boards and Flickr groups on the web. What should I buy?

Not a particularly sexy topic but we all have to start somewhere and so many get it so very wrong. I am going to break open the myths and truths behind what you really need to start out in concert photography. Hold tight because you are in for a bumpy and perhaps controversial ride.

01.04.09Wilton’s Music HallWilton's Music Hall Day two of the processing of the first shoot of 2009 with the fantastic Nedry. These shots were taken at Wilton's Music Hall, the only remaining music hall in the entire world. We couldn't afford to shoot inside sadly, it is over £150 for 3 hours (which is also my flat rate!), but the exterior has some magic of its own. For more check out www.flickr.com/photos/theavangelist

11.26.08DIY Strobist GridTo get the effects I want on an upcoming shoot, I decided I wanted to make a grid for my flash gun. After looking through a series of posts on the subject I figured I would just go at it and see what happens. A grid is a honeycomb based filter which when applied to a flash or strobe distorts and diffuses the light into a pinspot with an almost vignette like drop off on the edges. Here is how I put my own test subject together! Continue Reading...

07.02.08Devil Sold His Soul – Brighton Concorde2I remember some time ago now (2004 approx) seeing the first show by a very young band which had risen from the ashes of London's Mahumodo. They played in a tiny box room to a small crowd of about 30-50 people and were devastatingly tight. A few months later (2005) Devil Sold His Soul released their ep, Darkness Prevails to high acclaim with the press, and gig goers nationwide. Continue Reading...
