Spin IT!

DEEEE JAY!!! in da house.... or closet studio as the case may be...is...

I haven't posted in awhile but that's ok I guess till people start reading this haha.
few weeks ago a few good friends of mine where DJing a party down at the loft in old colorado city. I had a blast doing their promo shoots and covering the party in person at the loft.

Here is the Promo Shot of DJ's David and Charlie!!!!!

Chalrie and Dave @ The Loft

This was a fun shoot and we got a plenty of cool stuff, unfortunately I cannot say this idea was fully mine. Charlie grabbed one of my spare bulbs that was in my studio and just held it over David's head at first, than in true Charlie and David form they worked out the pose naturally. There is some post work done to make the bulb lit and blue other than that this is mostly raw. Got one background strobe gelled red with a 2x3ft soft box camera left and two bad ass mixers in front of the lens doing there thing = SaWeeT shot!

These guys are alot of fun to work with and are extremely talented mixing in all sorts of styles and blending them effortlessly together to create some sick jams that just make ya move like non other.

Here we got Charlie or "DJ Flacko" in one of his solo shots

DJ "Flacko" Charlie B.

Gota admit CMOS (flacko) is a natural both in front of the camera as well as behind it, this guy has so much talented crammed into his body its no wonder he has to be about 6'6". One of the best mixers ive heard and a great guy to boot. Keep an eye out for this one he is gonna do some big things!
This was shot with one strobe gelled red on the background, one strobe gelled blue as a slight rim camera right, and a 2x3ft softbox camera left for the main.

Here's one of DJ David's solo shots from our shoot

DJ David S.

And to keep all of flacko's electro in check we got DJ David!!!! along with charlie this guy is one of the coolest around and has a ton to offer.
This was shot with one strobe shot through some bar glasses onto the background and the spill created a nice accent light on the lower left side, one strobe directly behind David's head for a small rim affect, and of course a 2x3ft softbox camera left for main -or- as you can see it acts as a catch in the glasses. I would have like to shoot it without the reflection of the box in the glasses however we were limited with equipment and space as always. Still we liked the shot.

The following are some random shots from the actual party at The Loft in old colorado city.



All of these shots where done by dragging shutter and popping a strobe on our dj's, as you can see the strobe laying on the table in the first shot. While the sutter was open the camera was panned in some shots to create more energy in the image to help simulate the energy of the party. This is a fun technique that helps a photographer convery the sensation of motion in a still shot.
