    Good Drummer Photos: Lola & Tony live @ The Fubar

    Wednesday, April 8th, 2009

    Many concert photographers forget how important drummer photos are
    So a very dear friend of mine saw my portfolio and suggested I needed more drummer photos. Given some of the venues I’ve shot, The Fubar in St. Louis is one of my favorite small venues given its intimate setting. However, it’s space is challenging when it comes to getting decent drummer shots given to the small stage. Thanks to pop duo Lola & Tony, I was able to finally get several rewarding shots of drummer Tony. Inspired by such artist as The Dresden Dolls to Ben Folds, their versatile sound is fun and infectious to witness live as they opened for Meg & Dia on April 2nd.
    Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to get many decent shots of Lola, due to the poor hot pink lighting to the left of the stage where she sat and played. Hopefully next time, guys. View the photos from the entire gallery.

    Meg & Dia live @ The Fubar Photos

    Sunday, April 5th, 2009

    The Frampton sisters, AKA Meg & Dia put on a powerhouse live show on April 2, 2009 at St. Louis’ Fubar. While they are very high energy through out their performance and always a pleasure to photograph live, the house lights were not kind as they produced a very high exposure with their hot pink filters. A lot of post production work went into making the band members skin tones even and balanced. I’m not sure if it was at their request to have pink lights or not, but the Fubar usually has excellent lighting for a smaller venue.
    If you haven’t experienced Meg & Dia live, you should definitely catch them this year on the Vans Warped Tour. You’ll find yourself bouncing to their lively rock songs and especially their cover of Blind Melon’s “No Rain” and Sublime’s “Santaria”.Check out the entire 47 shots I captured from Friday night’s show right here on flickr.
