Band Promo Shoot
December 10, 2010
Garage Studios was recently approached by Rob, the trumpet player in the shots below, to shoot his various bands who play at clubs, functions and various events. He wanted some fresh new imagery for his Funk band Oomph and his Jazz band The Jazz for a new website that is under construction- you can find contact details here whilst the site is under further construction.
We decided against the standard band set-up and shot each band member seperately with and without instruments, and with styling tweaks by Stevi Jelbart of Ophelia Fancy, with the intention of a wide composite shot.
The lighting set up will be added below both finished shots.
The second set-up of the four hour shoot was for the Jazz Band. Rob again needed something that was fairly fresh- but would immediately tell his potential clients exactly what music and instruments they played- so we went for a very classic Jazz look with some hopefully interesting composition.
The incredibly dope Keyboard player.
A 7 piece band, with portraits, and a Jazz Trio with portraits, styled and shot and out the studio in under 3 hours, (it took the best part of an hour for the bands kit to turn up), and we are all pretty happy with the result. If you are out in Brighton over the festive period its likely you may see one of these bands, they are great, very tight and really know how to keep an audience in thrall.
