shoot with Norfolk band 'in Rapture'

I've been meaning to blog about this shoot but I've been busy and other things have taken over...

Met up with the band a couple of weeks ago, during a gig in Thorpe Market at the Suffield Arms. In Rapture formed late in '08 and are a covers band with a busy list of bookings.

Having not met the guys before and having arrived a few minutes late with the band belting out tunes I was largely left to do the shooting with only a brief chat to sign model release papers.
The main challenge for the evening was the stage, a mega sized double container that was placed on a trailer on the far side of the pub garden, with less depth than the 'stage' was wide.
It was near impossible to get decent group shots with this layout, and my only regret for the evening was not to have rallied them round for a nice take together.
My nifty fifty (50mm 1.4 G AF-S) lens made an excellent job of the light in the container, and together with some acrobatics (had to jump into and out of 'stage' to some amusement from the audience!) this led to work I was really happy with.

Hey they look amazing!! Best photos we've ever had done.
...
made my day!

I also received this from Amy Hurrell (lead singer) :)

I've just seen the photos on facebook that you took. They are really good. I look forward to seeing your other pics and will definitely be recommending you.


So thanks guys for the experience and look forward to doing more work with you in the near future!
