Sorry for the lack of updates lately. This month has been a little different. I've been working with some hip hop artists, and it's quite a bit different than full bands, but I think I enjoy it more. Hopefully these pictures can get me some more work in the hip hop industry. I love being able to work with all sorts of people and meet people while I do that. Hopefully I'll some more updates soon.
Here is just a few of the images I shot during my shoot with the rapper known as "Tha Advakit". I had never shot a rapper before, so it was pretty interesting getting to do so. I do have other shoots coming up with some other rappers soon I believe. Thats all thanks to Tha Advakit too! Hopefully this can become a regular thing. I also have some shoots in the works with some other bands. I hope to grace you all with lots of photos soon!
I'm not sure if this will work, but the bottom photo is a clip of a bunch of photos put together to make him move, but anyways today i went to the board boutique to help dustin take photos for their new website. I'm in the process of creating the background for it right now, and it's going to be awesome. I'll post a picture when the site is up. also commodity just put their demo up online for free download, so be sure to download it and give it to all your friends. help spread the word about them. heres the link: http://www.mediafire.com/?o21mnmeirdd
Sorry for the lack of updates lately. Even though only like 3 people probably see this. This past week was my spring break and I shot pictures for one show and went to others. most of the above took place in the entry way of the mckinley foundation. Theres not much room in there, so it gets things moving pretty well. Also for my photo class we're working on porteaits so i just posted one of Damon from when i did old Rhynoceraptor pictures a little while ago. More photos soon hopefully. That's all.
So i talked a bit about the last shed show in a previous post, but that was right after it. Now I've had some time to actually grasp the it's closed, and i've come to realize that the champaign area has suffered a great loss. Not only in the venue, which i already knew, but in the fact that theres not going to be nearly the same amount of shows going on. at least indie shows. I was updating my facebook group for shows in champaign and i realized that they are almost all hardcore shows. Which made me happy and sad. Happy that the hardcore scene is coming back, but sad that the indie scene is going away now. The shed will always be missed by many, but hopefully it won't mean the end for some music around here. I should have more photos up soon. A couple of shoots in the works. maybe pictures from shows coming up too.
Sorry for the lack of updates lately guys. I have been pretty busy with all this work coming in around midterms, but anyways this weekend I took photos for Scavenger and Rhynoceraptor. Them along with many other band played at the McKinley foundation on Saturday. It was sweet, but the highlight for me was Black Teeth playing in the entry way to the McKinley. The room was maybe 9 feet by 20 feet at the most. and it was packed with kids. It was the first time i had seen stage dives in champaign. (or in this case it was dives off of an old church pew.) I would have taken photos of it, but my camera would have been smashed. It was sweet though. I'll have more photos up soon. I need to save up some more money from photos so i can buy some triggers for my drum set!
