I was asked by the some of the members of the band Hot Minute for some photos for some promotional work for an up coming charity cd. The band are hoping raise money for a charity that helps children with brain injuries. The shoot took place at Mayfield Studios in Newport, East Yorks.
I have worked with the Sharon and Dave when they performed with the group Hot Minute. I shot them at Hull City all as part of the Love Music Hate Racism concert and also playing live at Princess Quay in Hull. I was able to hear some of their new stuff been recorded and the final mixes and finishing touches been added.
The shoot was done out side the studio for some images to be used on the cover of the cd. I also managed to get some shots in side the studio was Sharon was recording the final tracks. All shots where taken with a Canon 5d mkII 24-70l lens and Tamron 70-300 zoom. Lighting was done with a 430exII and a reflector umbrella using ETTL and a sync cord. I found that some of the shots I was getting strong shadows on Sharon’s face so changed to on camera flash bounced and diffused on the ceiling. The overall shot I think was a success and hope the band can raise some cash for the charity.
