Xperimento at the Yard’s first year

What do you do when a band you dig asks you to come out and photograph them? Why, you say yes, of course. Going out to shoot Xperimento was definitely on the books as a good night.

They, as well as quite a few other groups got together to perform at Wynwood Yard’s first year anniversary and I wasn’t going to miss it. What a great venue. It’s very cute with it’s backyard appeal and not to mention the night was beautiful. Cool and crisp with not a sight of rain. The vibe was great from the moment I got there. From the lights to the tunes, I was definitely feeling it. Then it was time for Xperimento to take the stage and for me to get to work. 

Between the energy on stage to the people dancing, there was no way not to have a good time. As for me, I was reveling between lights and shadows and getting lost behind my lens. Can I tell you how much I was loving all the color play going on? Well, before I knew it their set was over and I got to head home and immediately start sorting through my captures. I gave myself a quick sneak peek and was instantly excited. 

So here we are, I’ve sent the band their shots, uploaded a smaller set to Facebook and now I bring to you my favorites. It was particularly difficult for me to narrow down the shots which means you guys get to see a bit more than usual, though I don’t think you’ll mind. Do you? Now, if I did my job right, you’ll see just what a great time is to be had when Xperimento is playing live. Check them out if you can. 

 

Practice for Two

What do you do when you are in the mood to get creative yet the city is on lockdown waiting to see what a particular hurricane does? (more…)

Pandia with Special Guests

Excited does not even begin to describe how I’m feeling about this set. It’s like I just finished and I want some more. Yeah, that.  (more…)

Pandia killing it at Cheers

I can’t believe I’m still up and at it so late. In about 30 minutes I will be officially burning the midnight oil once more though to me it’s worth it. It is especially worth it for this particular set. Why? Well, because this was a challenge for me. (more…)

Locos Por Juana in Transit

In my last entry, I touched on the fact that there was another band I shot last Thursday and how I would be posting the photos soon. Well, I did it! Not only did I edit two band’s sets, I did it by my deadline. Granted, it was a self imposed deadline, yet a deadline nonetheless. I must say that I am quite pleased.

Xperimento in Transit

Can I start off by saying WOW? Well, that’s exactly how I’m about to begin. Wow, it would be an understatement to say that I am ridiculously excited to bring you this post and the next. Why? I’ll give you two reasons.  (more…)

Sunny South getting down

I’m going to admit something right from the start. I don’t care for this particular set. Not on account of the band, not at all. I love those guys. The venue however, I just wasn’t feeling the lighting.  (more…)

Koffin Varnish at Propoganda

In my last post I spoke of going to see The Von in Lake Worth last weekend. Well, while waiting for them to take the stage, I had the pleasure of checking out Koffin Varnish. I’ll fill you in a little secret…

The Von at Propoganda

I’m a big fan of a venue with great lighting and Propaganda definitely fell on that list for me. From the moment I walked in to the venue last Saturday and saw the red wall, I was instantly excited to get to shooting. I was even more excited to get home and get editing my shots. (more…)

Vladez at Sunset a la fifty

So here’s the deal. In the 3 years I’ve been shooting live music, I had never shot a band with my 50mm prime lens. Despite reading in several different places how it’s the obvious choice when shooting in dark or dimly lit venue due to the larger aperture, for me it is simply a matter of having the flexibility of a zoom lens and not having to pack more than necessary when going out.
