I've shot for the Phantom Light, a band from Swansea a few times in the past but this time they wanted me to shoot some new promo images to coincide with the launch of their latest E.P.
My main problem with band photography is how to make it interesting and not cheesy, but when your location resembles the kind of room you'd have a wedding function in and the band your shooting are wearing suits.....
I knew I wanted to give the band two different looks and so with that in mind I set about thinking how best to use the great view of the lighthouse in the background, without making it look like a wedding group portrait.
For the second set up I had an idea of some kind of criminal group/mafia meeting, this was my favourite of the two.
For more regular updates got to my Tumblr page - here.
Or more brain outbursts, here (twitter).
The rarely updated and hardly used but got one anyway because everyone else has, facebook.
