I think the contrast is way too high in some of these photos.

I put together a video of the studio, building and some video of inside the clock tower.

See, now that's an unfair advantage.

Question though - would you charge the fees you do if you didn't have access to a studio?

I would have loved to see a symmetric, normal-angled shot of this. This hall has awesome lines that are wasted with the angle, but I think would have looked awesome with a centered & symmetric composition.

I like it as-is, thought I'd say.

Couple. Still have more coming. This was more a photographic documentary if anything. We've been meaning to meet up and do a couple promos but our schedules conflicted. Then by some random miracle our schedules collided. Bad side is that I didn't have all my equipment and they wanted to jam. Only light was from a single light bulb dangling from a cord in the middle of them. I had my 40D with my 17-85 4.0/5.6 so my lighting was limited. Bumped it up to 3200 and shot at like 1/40th to 1/80th with IS on. I think I might have pushed these a bit far.















You underestimate the appeal of grainy band shots. They're not perfect, but given the conditions, they're pretty good.

So how do you people address colour metering at concerts? You'd think this would come up in most guides, but it doesn't.

$250 really is a pittance for a solo gig. I tend to get paid $150-200 a day for ASSISTING another photographer, never mind doing the scouting and post-processing. If you don't need professional photos for your band then, don't hire a professional. Use the amateur with his compact or first DSLR, because they at least aren't trying to cover the cost of thousands of dollars' worth of gear.
