I processed this photo in a made up dilution of HC-110 just to try things out. If you compare this to High Contrast (the other photo from the same gig), you can see how Annalie was standing under the light, … Continue reading

I always shoot manual focus but I wish I was quicker. I saw this moment happening as the music came to a crescendo, I thought I was sharp, but unfortunately I’d just missed it.

This is the first time I’d photographed someone singing. I wasn’t quite prepared for all the different expressions that come to the face and how quickly they come and go.
I shot it on Tri-X 400 pushed to 1600, I metered to get Annalie’s face but I wish I could of got some of the detail in the back ground. I was using a 2.8 lens and with out a tripod I just couldn’t keep the shutter open long enough. The film was developed in Ilford DD-X which has made it feel really crisp.

Taken just before Annalie and band went on, around the same time this photo was taken which I posted earlier.
I love the concentration in his eyes and fingers. I always found it interesting how someone who plays a string instrument doesn’t have to look they can just feel it.

I can’t think on paper so I’m envious of people who can. I need a computer and a server before I can even think about what the project is. So watching the gig get planned on a few pieces of paper, made me very envious. Continue reading

This was just before Annalie went on stage. I hadn’t sat with a band before they went on. It was surprising how relaxed they all were it was like I was going out for a drink with some mates. Then suddenly they all became very focused as they got ready to go on. I took this of Annalie just before they went up.
They do a great show and if you want to see it they’re performing at the Roadtrip, 243 Old Street, Hoxton/Shoreditch London EC1V 9EY. It’s two minutes from Old Street tube, and it’s free!
