Multiple Flash
For the use of multiple flash, two different external flashes were set off using the pop-up flash on my camera. Inside Mojo’s, the lighting was particularly dark with some colored stage lights on the bands. Perfect opportunity to try different arrangements, flash ratios, bouncing the key light off of different surfaces, etc.
The Autumn Film performed on the second night of taking pictures. Incidentally, I really enjoyed their music and recommend checking them out as they just released a new album, “The Ship and the Sea.”
Reid Phillips, guitarist for The Autumn Film, plays at Mojo's on Wednesday, April 14. The band is originally from Denver, CO and are touring with their new album release, titled "The Ship and the Sea." Other band members are pianist and lead singer Tifah Al-Attis and drummer Dann Stockton. According to The Onion, "Like a post-collegiate Fiona Apple jamming with Snow Patrol, The Autumn Film serves up a piano-drenched sincerity topped off with a voice that's wise and heartbroken beyond its years."
Lighting diagram inside Mojo's. The key light was bounced off of the stage ceiling, while a fill was used to light up the entire guitar.
In addition, I came across this UK audio site that has some great interviews, clips, still pictures, etc to telling about 4-minute news stories and profiles. I particularly enjoyed the piece titled, “Chicago’s Still Got the Blues,” which interviews musician Buddy Guy. Enjoy!
