Sorry, I was in Spain for 2 weeks and didn’t quite get around to scheduling posts before I left.

The night before I left, I shot Nine Lives again, this time at the launch of their EP in the Voodoo Lounge:

The lighting was very dim throughout, especially after a stagediver managed to knock one of the lights away from the stage. As a result, lots of the shots are fairly noisy and I opted to use black & white a lot to make the best of a bad situation.

Also popped the flash a few times to get some crazy light streak effects:

It’s been quiet around here recently. Sorry about that.

This shot was taken on the evening of Wednesday 20th June, the day of my last exam.

More posts to come soon.

That was fun. My first gig with a photo pass, and in the pit.

I was asked on Thursday by Nine Lives to shoot their support slot for Billy Talent at the Ambassador.

From what I heard, it’s very rare that an unsigned band like them, used to playing Scout Halls and birthday parties gets picked to play support at a gig like this one.

Previously the biggest crowds Nine Lives had played to were around 300 or so. The Ambassador holds 1250 people, and was sold out last night.
