Well, they weren't actually playing anything, just happened to shout out to me as i was finishing a shoot for the local theatre company.

Nothing special, but thought i would share.

That's really a nice shot! I'm sure they would love to use it for promotion, CD covers, etc.

My only nit to pick is that the sousaphone shaded parts of the trumpet player.

I wasn't in a studio as such... its sort of a long story, but the basics:

I was doing a big shoot with the local costume hire place with people modelling off costumes etc., (8 hrs, 1300 images!), and these guys were doing a show in the theatre next to where we were shooting. During intermission they came over and asked if they could get some pics as it was a new lineup. So they came back after i had finished shooting the costumes and voila. Some extra cash for the kitty on-top of my days work.

It was shot on a white paper roll (which is a little worse for wear after having models trampling across it all day), two strobes on them, two on the paper. Basically a studio setup, even if i did have trouble with the fluorescents overhead that they couldn't turn off (or the models would be getting changed in the dark).

I know this isn't the usual sort of stuff for this forum, but hey :lol:

Thanks Curtis. Yeah, they have bought the images for use on signage and stuff, so they are obviously happy with them too.

I didn't notice that shadow till afterwards, but atleast it is on his head, not his face i guess...

looks really good, did you pose them? or did they pose themselves?

Thanks!
I posed them. Not that it took too much... just some basic positioning.
