Description The Fall of Troy in Toronto, Ontario on April 7th, 2006 to perform at Toronto's Opera House with Poison the Well, HORSE the Band and Criteria.
Full-view, please. The colours seem really washed out in the mini-view.
I wanted to hold onto this one for awhile, but I didn't want to wait. They were great guys and we all had a great time overall.
Several from this series may appear in a magazine which is yet to be named. Updates as they come, I suppose.
A few of the other ones might make it up, but this was my personal pick of the litter, mostly because the background mural, at least in person, looks like it's being fabricated out of nothing and is really incongruous with the rest of the area, which is sorta dirty and industrial. I hope I was able to convey that feeling somewhat.
This is my first attempt at this sort of thing on a "professional" level, in that I've never done anything set like this with a touring act. Hope the results are enjoyable, and any and all crit. welcome. Esp. about improvements.
photo is taken at f2.8 ISO 200 in warm, afternoon sunlight in an alley in downtown Toronto with a 15mm fisheye, which, when attached to a Canon 20D body makes it a 24mm - 26mm-ish lens, due to mag.
enjoy,
.k.

haha thanks.
You should see the one we took in the greasy-spoon diner down the street a few minutes after this was taken, when Tomas was picking his teeth with a knife and carving little drawings into a styrofoam cup with it as well.
Long story short: It was a wicked time.
haha

Oh, that's so funny! I get really crazy around people in bands, especially if it's a band I really like.

Nice nice nice

As *Gerberlicious said, it's not the usual "hard" pose that most bands seem to adopt.
I like the fact that you captured the band naturally.

Nice choice with the background as well, compliments them and also makes the shot more interesting.

Oh and for the 15mm fisheye
Great lens on a cropped sensor.

Very nice shot. Good use of the fisheye at an angle. I only wish the guy on the right's face wasn't partially blocked by his arm.

First off, congrats on this mag. gig. Thats freakin awesome!

Secondly I really like this photo dude. I love the colors and the location. I also like it cause it doesn't give off that stupid "tough guy" band image. To me it just real. Just 3 guys chillin out who just happen to be in a band. Kinda reminds you that all these bands that we love and admire are just real people like you and me. I think you've kinda captured that in this. I don't know if that was intentional or what but meh... who really cares?

Fav'd.

Thanks bro!
And yeah, that was part of what I was trying to do. I got the call to do the shoot less than 24 hours from when it had to be done, so I was scrambling to see if I could get something "fun" together, but then just figured I'd let them do their thing, and just do my best to have it be as natural as possible with as little of that contrived sorta attitude.
thanks again man,
