LINDSEY "ON FIRE" - Using fire to our advantage - SteemitPhotoChallenge Entry

in #photofeed7 years ago

When Lindsey Stirling was starting up her career and lived in Utah I helped and took some pictures back in the summer of 2012.

BACKGROUND
We all knew she was going places and already had a good little audience and i figured it would be fun to take some pictures because her audience is the type that eats it up and also because it would just be enjoyable to spend the day around her energy and creativity (which it was ...she is extremely fun to work with... at least back then) that day was incredibly smokey because of nearby fires. Even though we had planned to go to the sand dunes we went towards the fire instead and used it to our advantage.

I used to do few concerts for her in the years to follow and I think there may have been posters of at least one of the images (I can't remember it's been many years). It's fun that many of her long time fans still remember and talk about this photoshoot... or at least see mention on social media from time to time.

Very proud to see where she's gone with her career... always pushing herself to get better and do bigger things. Very admirable. I cheer from the background.

Here's just 3 of the images which i'm also submitting to the @jamtaylor contest with the theme Musician Portrait All taken with a Nikon D800

I always enjoy a nice use of outdoor flash. These are some sweet pics.. I guess I'm just confused why she didn't hire you to be her full time tour photographer?

  1. I'm too expensive
  2. She has the type of following that they're volunteering left and right to take pictures of her at no cost... but I think after a while they get tired of free pics that aren't great.
  3. She's a little bit more fantastical and so photoshop is very heavy on her album covers and I'm supposing in her basic wants... it just fits her better.
  4. I did a few concerts but it's really a pain dealing with all the venues I found... some of them are nice to work with and others are just so overbearing and controlling it's not enjoyable sometimes.

I know you were joking but hey thought i'd share some insights anyway.
Dear sir thank you for your follow and vote ;)

not sure which i like more, first or second one. you used the opportunity well. and you just reminded me about Lindsey. did not watch anything from her for a while.

I think the personality is more her in the first but the lighting is more interesting in the second.

Great job, the lighting on the first two are especially awesome!

Very memorable shoot! Glad to see you highlighting and submitting these awesome pictures.

Yeah probably one of the more memorable ones over the years right?

great combination with light.
