:P
I'd love to, but I don't think they want to spend more money on more photos. Got paid of course. :P
And yeah I know all about trying to be original and all that. I always try to, but this time I just wanted these typical band shots. Just to show that I CAN do them, you know, like in my future portfolio or something. Have never done this before, so it was pretty exciting. Didn't want to screw this one up. ;) So I went with a "normal" look, with focusing on light and making them look good. This was the first one, next one will be better, the one after that will be better and so on!
Thanks for the comments!
And no, I don't remember bands from their promo pics either. :P

oh and in the first one i like the way that the guy at the back is in the shadow, i'm guessing he's the bassist? :p

Dale: Yes actually he is. :P But I didn't but him behind like that because of that. Just wanted someone in the back. ;D
deady: A gradient ND and a blue color correction filter. There are post processing in PS afterwards also. Some dodging (with gradients), some color changes to bring out more contrast and sharpening. Had to do some dust removal in NeatImage too. Since it was a lowlit are, I shot in 1600 ISO, which gives pretty much noise.
