Athlete, Oran Mor, Glasgow

Got the chance to shoot Athlete at their gig in Glasgow the other day – 30th June 2009. Overall, it was a pretty good experience; if somewhat difficult from a shooting perspective. With no photo pit, I was stuck amongst the crowd which made it hard to get some varied shots and coupled with some really poor house lighting, I had my work cut out for me. Unfortunately for the rest of the band, I had to make this a singer-centric photo op, as the lighting just wasn’t there for the back of the stage.

As the lighting was a bit flat, there was a certain level of experimentation involved. A collection of shots can be found below, a few not exactly representing your typical concert shots and certainly not images I’d feel were aimed at publications, but as stand alones I felt they were quite strong.
