Band Videos in HD

Posted in Digital Photography, General, Leeds, Music, Bands, Gigs in Leeds with tags , , , , , on July 23, 2009 by bandphotographyleeds

Thinking about offering a service to bands where i shoot their video in full HD on my Nikon D90. Quality should be quite cinematic rather than ‘video-like’ due to being able to put on a variety of camera lenses and have full control of depth of field etc (unlike on video camcorders)

Is this a service anyone would be interested in, i could do the shooting – one day in the studio, one day on location, and all the editing for under £1000!!

Well, the studio seems to be working out

The studio in the centre of Leeds has signposted a new, or rather resurrgence of my love of fashion photography, the people, the industry. There has been quite an influx of models coming through the doors recently and together we are taking some great photos. Its early days yet but a number of these photos are starting to appear on the gallery page of BandPhotography under its own section – Fashion.

Many thanks also goes out to Sam Myers who is doing the make-up and hair, Sam is fantastic to work with and has a wide experience of make-up from fashion, to makeovers to sci-fi/special fx.

Long may we have this working relationship – or at least until her big move!! Look forward to the Sushi Sam.

Photograph your products in the bath

Just thought you might want to check out my article on BT Tradespace about how to best photograph your products yourself as opposed to getting a pro and assuming you dont have a tripod, white background, proper lighting, Photoshop etc.

If your product is fairly small, then get your digital out and snap away like a pro in the bath.

Band Photography in Leeds and around Yorkshire

Posted in General with tags , , , , on June 30, 2008 by bandphotographyleeds

Hi there, this is a blog I’d like anyone to participate in who is first of all in a band, then if you love music an thirdly if you live in leeds. If you have a connection in all 3 then even better. My work can be seen at www.bandphotography.co.uk/index.htm

You can comment in this blog if you have a gig or music related event, preferably in Leeds or elsewhere in Yorkshire.

You can also comment in this blog if you are a photographer, whether an expert or amateur. You don’t have to live in Leeds, anywhere in the world is fine.

I will try as much as I can to help with any photography related questions.

Also, I hopefully plan to put up Digital Photography tips. This would include using Adobe Photoshop.
