Wanted to try something a little different. The Band's name is Bleaustation. They do old time gritty blues. Thoughts?

This venue was very dark and unevenly lit, so I used some Yongnuo 560IIIs to overpower everything.

I like the photos ... little gritty which suits the blues. I am wondering how they would look if the WB was warmed up a bit.

Thank you. Their name is Bleaustation and the blue cast fits with their desired branding. Sepia, and even a yellowy beige did look very good though.

They look great, and they'd look grittier with more grain.


Still waiting for the wisdom they promised would be worth getting old for.

I like the grit for the full shot, but would back off a touch for the headshots.. but it's all preference. Nice set for promo.

Overall they look nice. I especially like the portrait of the singer.
Looks like lens distortion in number 2, but only on one person, so it looks a bit odd.

#3 a bit too much, but definitely like the vibe from these, #1 is my favorite :-) I'd like to see them slightly less blue..

Thanks all for taking the time to comment. The Band and crew were super pleased with them. Got some major computer upgrade components for payment, motherboard, and graphics card, plus use of some professional grade video lights for another gig, so I'll call it a big win. ..... Doesn't always have to be cash. : )
