Very happy with the set , and so is the client.:)

I'll post the full set up on FlickR tomorrow

I like #4 best.
I'd crop / frame #1, 2 and 5 different. Maybe #6 as well.

[londonblue007]

something about #3 that seems off... but, It's a shot of Slash, so it's not bad :D

In fact, anything with Slash in it is worthy of praise! (within reason) :D

[Steve Parr]

#6 for me; very nice...

[bacchanal]

Love that sweater vest in no. 2.

I'd say you should be happy with the set, nice job! ;)

[SlowBlink]

Great set Craig. I really like 4,5 and 6. I don't think you could ask for a better subject than Slash for rock photography. He's got the swaggering Robert Plant school of posing thing down to an art.

good flicks!!

[DwightMcCann]

good flicks!!
No, "flicks" are movies ... comes from the flickering that the earlier slower projectors added to the ambiance. I remember those days! :-)

[JSJR4]

very nice shots

[bigbaby987]

Thanks Dean McCann!!! Dually noted. ;)

[Dave Page]

Nice work!...#4 is the iconic Slash pose...excellent!

[Burrelly]

Nice shots mate, I left it to late for passes for this gig, 4 hours before the gig think I was chancing it hehe.

Were you shooting for anyone in particular?

Cheers for the comments.Im getting alot of emails from people all round the world about these photographs.I think I need an agent:)

Dave:-
I was shooting for a company called "DUFF". A couple of the pictures have been picked up by Total Guitar now.

[Burrelly]

Yeah Duff press. I left it a little to late to get passes sorted. Good job though if you need any advice about selling them or anything give me a shout. :)

I can pretend to be your agent for 40% :p

[jeffscra]

Wow those are awesome....huge Velvet Revolver Fan here!

[Antz_Marchin]

#4 is great. Would love to be that close to Slash with a camera.

[narlus]

i like 3, 4 and 6. not sure how rene would frame #6 differently.

[René Damkot]

Just a tiny bit: You don't want to loose the headroom, but I'd want to loose the light on the right:
(also brightened the center / face a bit)

[zero99]

Ohh. Scott Weiland has been sacked from Velvet Revolver,and I have photographs from one of there final concerts . This could be interesting

[bsmotril]

Nice shots. Was the opening act "Pearl"? If so, did you get any shots of them?

[BPL]

Excellent pics!!!!!! Thanks for the info on the lens and settings used. I need all the help I can get lol.

[jsphotos]

Good thing tht you took these now since Scott is out of the band. Can't wait to hear the new STP album

[saturnin]

[REXTi]
