May as well start off this blog with this post ...... Got to Shoot up and coming sheffield band the Retrospectives this week. Couldnt have picked a colder and windier night for this one but never the less we managed to get some good promo shots done
You can see them on my facebook album - Facebook Album
And i'll also stick the on my website - www.andrewscottclarke.com
We decided on a night shoot and i had a good location in mind as id done a previous shoot there before, a dark dingy alleyway in a run down part of sheffield, the sort of place where you find someone asleep in a doorway. Graffiti covered walls and puddles that probably arent rain (you get the picture).
The boys were quite willing to try different things although i couldnt get them to do height's! haha, Obviously with night shots there was some strobist action going on which proved quite difficult in the high winds, I had a large boom stand up with softbox attached which i had to draft Sam Galton (pro make up artist) in to hold down which she only just managed in that wind, turns out the wind was strong enough to blow a bus over in sheffield that day!.
We did a few different shots in that alley from the preverbial walking towards camera, moody leans and some involving a chain link fence that got the S**T kicked out of it by the band!. Very Rock n Roll
Moving on we wanted to get some more light hearted photo's done and made our way to the sheffield winter gardens (big indoor tropical greenhouse) and thought that some shots inbetween the foliage etc would be cool, alas this wasnt to be as it was closed that night! ( of all the luck!). So get ready for part two of the shoot coming soon...........
Members of the Retrospectives are : Tom Galton, Will Stocks and Joe Mellor - Keep an eye out for them!
