I have been asked by my friend's husband if I could do a set of photos of him and his band. I met him for the first time yesterday and we had long talks about what he would like. I think we are going to do the shoot at one of the band member's farm - lots of old barns etc. Nick picked up his guitar and played and sang some great songs. He has played in different bands all his life and writes a lot of his own songs - lots of social messages. My friend Phil calls him an "old hippy"
I didn't have my camera with me so took a few candid shots on my iPhone. This was converted to B&W in Nik Silver Efex Pro and I liked the gritty feel of the shot.
Many thanks for your comments and Favs on my recent shots - so very much appreciated!!
What a fun time you are going to have. He sounds like someone who would be interesting to 'shoot'. I did a portrait set for one of the island musicians. If I can find where I posted - might have been Year 1 - I'll plug in the link here. I like the angle on this one.
It was interesting how important it felt to capture personality and context. I'm looking forward to seeing yours.
