    Photos of Kill Hannah backstage before Dekalb show

    Kill Hannah getting ready for their show in Dekalb, IL

    Last month I’d shot Kill Hannah at Pop’s in St. Louis opening for Jet and later I’d arranged to drive up to Dekalb, IL for their show the following week where I had the privelege of meeting the band before the show. If there’s something to be said of Kill Hannah themselves, they share a close connections to their fans and appreciate them greatly, so these are sure to be a treat for you. I love their music and so it was fun interacting with them offstage just before the show to capture their routine and what they do before putting on an excellent show for the crowd. After speaking with frontman Mat Devine about what he wanted, I took these series of photos on continuous shoot and used a post production method of cross processing and filters to create the look associated with 35mm film cameras of 70’s/early 80’s. I also used this method for their concert photos from that night that I’ll be posting here next.
