KWFBP Shoot – May 18

May 27th, 2009

Some pictures from a shoot with Kind Words From Bad People. It took place down at Iona Beach on a wet and miserable, but sadly typical Vancouver day. We all toughed it out and ended up having some fun too–well at least I enjoyed it.

I used a speedlight on a stand with shoot-through umbrella on 1/2 power i think, triggered with Pocketwizard Plus II’s. I own a Canon 430exII, but I may have used a friend’s  Nikon SB-800 in these shots because I remember having problems with my flash.

In term of post-processing, I created a black/white/red theme in order to keep in line with the kind of look that the band wanted. I did my take on the classic b+w with coloured accent thingy. The fact that they each wore something red makes it work better, and really helped in keeping it thematically consistent. I also used the logo they sent me and made it follow the whole b+w with red accent idea.

Well, enough blabbering…

Kind Words From Bad People

January 6th, 2009

I just want to plug a local band: KIND WORDS FROM BAD PEOPLE.
I’m not really sure how to describe the music, it’s quite a mix of things.

Here are some words that come to my mind: ambient, guitars, electronic, rap vocals. I think their sound would do well as background music for video games or perhaps in a movie soundtrack.

I think the band’s .com is still in the works, but if you want to find out more you can check them out on myspace. Oh yea… you can buy their music on iTunes.
