DSLR Photography Forum

A promo photo I put together last night.
I'm holding the Ibanez/Bartolini active bass that I use live and for recording.
My backup Fender Jazz bass is more photogenic, but it's white and that doesn't work as well for the dark look I was going for.
A simple 2 light setup--main flash (camera left) has barndoors to control spillage, and was also hitting a mirror camera right.
A slave flash was high rear camera right, with a grid on it to give a tight little accent (not on all photos).
Only problem was that my car broke down on the way, and when the singer picked me up I forgot my amazing new shirt--had to borrow a plain one from the guitarist and the sleeves weren't long enough.

It sure makes life easier to have a photographer in the band.
I can produce whatever we need whenever it's convenient.
No waiting for someone else to show up, no discussing goals and various looks, and we keep all our money.
Our guitarist has a Mac/ProTools recording studio, and I'm a professional sound engineer, so recording our CD falls under the FREE category, too.

Please let me know when you have a CD ready for sale, I have a collection of CD's from Forum friends... all genres of music too.

Add me too Keith, I would like to know when your CD is ready. This is really so nice photograph! I loved it. And yes, good luck, music is great, how nice you are also musician too. I wish to hear your music. Thank you for sharing wish us, Loud Nine seems great and handsome. Why Loud Nine? I wondered.

With my love,

Cloud Nine is a mythical place we go when very happy.
Loud Nine is hopefully the same, only louder.

Thanks Keith, Cloud Nine, I heard but you are talking about music I think. By the way, do you have myspace, sorry I ask too much.
Have a nice weekend,

Good band shots, Keith. The photo(s) show where you are at...
