Band Photography | Murdochs Crazy Eyes

Murdochs Crazy Eyes

Band Photography

Is not something I get asked to do a lot of. Usually it’s weddings, boudoir and portrait photography.

I guess that’s a good thing really because when asked to do something different it force me to think outside the box, keeping my work fresh.

Murdochs Crazy Eyes are an 80′s cover group who needed updated promotional images. They required Band Photography suitable for corporate, promotional and online presentation.

This involved some fun shots moving into the more serious corporate type of Band Photography.

A two hour studio shoot yielded some 70 finished images, all of which went down well.

Portable Photo Booth Hire

Lastolite Hi Lite photo booth hire for parties

This was another great outing with the portable studio

Photo Booth Hire

Photo Booth Hire is increasingly common with portable studio demand rising. Whilst these setups are simple to do, they are very difficult to do right.

The trouble is space, there’s rarely enough at most events for a full setup and even then, fitting it into a car is impractical to near impossible without a van.

The Lastolite Hi-Lite gets around this by being pop-up in design. Very similar to those tents you see at festivals….only much bigger.

You still need to bring lighting equipment, you still need to fiddle with lighting the floor for that high hey look but it’s well worth the effort in the end.

The general footprint needed to operate the 8 x 7 ft version is about 3 x 2 metres.

For wedding receptions, corporate parties and events this is an absolute blessing because it gets the image right pretty much first time, every time, so you can print on-site almost straight away.

Photo Booth hire is a very cool thing to have at any event.

Pin Up Photography

Diva Hollywood, the artistic, whip cracking burlesque performer was in for a studio session recently.

Lots of work was completely, mainly retro and vintage, some easy and some challenging….

…..some involved cracking two bull whips and setting off all the local dogs too!

A great day regardless!
