Live Music & Shows

The Naked and Famous

in

Synths, lights, and the Beacham. All the way from Auckland, the Naked and Famous!

Kind of awesome to see a band all the way from New Zealand come to Orlando, even more awesome to see the entire venue filled wall to wall for them.

Photo Stuff:

Shot with a 5D Mark III and a 14mm 2.8 that nearly never came off the body, most of these shots are right around 1600-3200 ISO and the Mark III handles the noise easy. Great, because the Beacham is notoriously dark and usually a photography nightmare, luckily this wasn't the case tonight!

A challenge at this show were the two synths and four mic stands that were front stage left and right, I opted to shoot between them and to get both Alisa Xayalith and Thom Powers in a single frame, shot to the side for individuals.

STS9

STS9 rocked an absolutely beautiful show at the Beacham. The lighting these guys produce was stunning, and it was a perfect match to their electronic music that had a sold-out crowd dancing non-stop for a solid two hours.

The most difficult challenge of this shoot was certainly finding good angles of the band, a lot of the time the time they were covered by their tall synths, but I found a few niches to shoot from and I was generally pretty pleased with how most of the shots came out. The fantastic lighting was a great help too!

Thanks for looking,

Steven.

Oh, and shout-out to these two little rockers who were the coolest kids out here at the festival:

Thanks for looking,
