Lighting setup

RJ de Jackson Photo-shoot Lighting setup
FOR THE PHOTO GEEKS LIKE MYSELF
Description: 
The Photo shoot with RJ de Jackson with my Nikon D90, attached with my trusted Tamron 17-50mm f2.8 I was ready. This Photo Shoot was extremely laid back, as there was music jamming in the background, "Let me buy you a drink" -by T.Pain
Nevertheless, this concept/ look I was going for was a sexy geek. I had uploaded a sneak peek of this shoot and, another photographer stated that it was off topic on this series. He had suggested that it would have been better if I was to use smaller framed glasses. In response to that look, I interrupted more of a slutty geek (whoa there...!) than a sexy nerdy geek. 

Do comment back and let me know what you think..?

Backstage with Third Eye Blind





Third Eye Blind live on stage
Yesterday I was blessed with a backstage pass for 3eB (Third Eye Blind) some fine print did follow, which they stated there has to be no flashes and, that I could of only been in the pit for three of there sounds. Small worries especially with todays DSLR and there advance usage of High ISO. They performed for a free show at The Switchyard in Carrollton, Texas.  The image above is the band members of the Third Eye Blind live on stage as the play there tunes. With minimum chimping, I was basically in a "set it and forget"mode and was able to archive the image that you see here. As they say, "It's not what you know,  but who you know". Why not have a balance of them both, my photography seems to be getting better due to my knowledge.  Thus, working with more business minded people is becoming more simple like a breathe of fresh.
