I shot Green Jello (Green Jelly for legal reasons 😜) recently, the self-proclaimed “World’s Worst Band.”

It’s going to take a lot to dethrone this as the craziest shoot I’ve ever done. Pool noodles were flying everywhere, inflatables obscured every band member, and I’m sure this was several fire hazard nightmares all rolled into one (both giant inflatables on each side of the floor eventually made their way onto the crowd as the audience carried them across the room). Something tells me that the venue isn’t inviting them back for any future shows. 😝🤔

From their 25th anniversary ANThology set at Halftime, in Newark DE.

A small selection of photos from last weekend. My third gig as a photographer so still really new to this lol. Would highly appreciate some feedback and suggestions on how/where to improve!

Doing another show today hoping to capture the vibe and atmosphere a bit better with more interesting angles/compositions and more shots of the crowd. But, man, composition is hard! As is navigating a crowd…

Question,
Any tips and tricks on how to navigate a smaller show where there’s no photo pit, to get cooler angles without disturbing the crowd?

When editing and delivering photos, is it better to try to be as consistent as possible with colors, etc.? Or is it fine to have a bit more variety? The lighting is constantly changing after all haha.

Or just tips and tricks in general?

Thank you!🖤

Hi all, seasoned wedding photographer but absolutely love metal gigs so branching out. Would welcome any feedback!
