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…

Photos – LEVVEL

February 9th, 2009

A while back I helped out my good friend CSJ do a photo shoot of a local band, Kind Words From Bad People. These are just some shots of our buddy LEVVEL from the band. I’ve done some music with LEVVEL in the past. I think he is a dope lyricist and I’ve  have been a fan of his ever since. I went with a dark and contrasty look for these shots. He looks kinda scary here, but he is actually a really good dude.
