Never before have I had to edit this many photos from one shoot! Even when I shoot weddings the most images I have had to fully edit for a final album is 50 so to be editing 215 it was going to take quite a while especially with it being my final weeks at college and my Mam going in for her operation as well as working on my portfolio stuff to send to publications I think I got these done in good time.
The shoot was fun, interesting and a huge learning curve. I specifically told the band to research ideas and think about the image they want to get across. Some had researched some hadn’t lol this isn’t a dig at the band, just some people like getting their photo taken others don’t.
The guys got changed – can’t remember who asked for concealer and eyeliner but it made me giggle.
The guys were awesome after they had a few minutes to warm up in front of the camera and at times went a lil crazy on set. I was shocked at how energetic and talkative Ian got, he is a natural in front of the camera. Every time the shutter clicked he jumped into another pose. Tyra would be proud haha. Micky was a natural in front of the camera to, I hadn’t shot with these two guys before and didn’t expect them to do as well as they did.
If you haven’t seen these guys with this line up I highly suggest that you go do so! They are AMAZING and no I’m not being biased haha when they do something crap I do tell them
Their website should be up in a couple of days I will post the link when it does and you must go visit and buy their album or one of their spanky new T-shirts.
