You may remember a couple of months ago I was asked to cover Rock the Priory in Hertfordshire and yesterday the day came all too quickly. Having never shot a concert before :shake: I was a little bit nervy but was there from 8am to shoot the setting up of the sound and light rigs, this was for the sponsors. I won't bore you with al the details but the day went better than expected, 17 bands and around 800 shots in total, with some promo work coming up for a couple of bands and possibly another gig later in the year (10,000+) as the band photographer.
The bands were superb and not what I was expecting, some had so much energy and were a joy to shoot, although it got a bit more challenging in the evening as the light faded. I've only been through them quickly but here are some that caught my eye, most have not been edited except the mono shots (apart from re-sizing).
This the frontman for Stiff Upper Lip who played mainly covers, AC/DC etc and really rocked the place.
Good to get the sponsors name in there, I quite like this shot, I could see it in my minds eye but it took a few attempts to get it right, rockers don't stand still!
Just an experiment
Finally, the lead guitarist with the Imperial Vipers, the best band of the night IMO.
