Hey guys, so I shot at the 2nd Annual Freaks & Beard event. I didn't shoot much of the beards because I had limited memory space on me (did get a few bearded ladies though). So I shot burlesque dancers, clowns, and mermaids. Still going through the photos, but here are some favs so far. I also don't have a logo or anything yet, so it's just my name on the web-images.
These were shot with my 50mm 1.8, at night with one or two lights pointed at the performers on the outdoor stage, no other lighting was used. First time doing that, what do you guys think I could improve on? Comments & critique encouraged.
1. Without further ado, here are some clowns (Tyler and Carl) from the 20 Penny Circus. This is my absolute favorite I think.
2. I actually have a lot of decent photos of them, but I have limited space in the thread.
3. Here is the lovely Franki Markstone, who did burlesque routines atop a bed of nails.
4. Here is Vita DeVoid. She also did a burlesque routine, this time incorporating fire. There was lots of movement in her performance, lots of photo ops. In this one, the framing is a little off and her face is hot (spotlight), but I liked it anyway.
5. I loved the fabric movement in this one.
6. Okay, so the cropping is slightly awkward but I thought it still might work...
7. I have a fullbody shot of this as well. Wasn't sure which I liked better, can post if asked.
8. Lastly, a teaser of a mermaid named Mermaid Raven in a 1000 gallon tank. I am hopefully shooting her & her friends again this weekend, so I may have better mermaid photos soon.
Thank you!
