the sweet mack at rogue studios

i recently popped by rogue studios to hang with my friends, the sweet mack while they were recording some songs for a new EP. the studio was an intimidating place to shoot in- its very dark, its quite cluttered, and i wanted to shoot without flash so i wouldn't be distracting (and flash is too noisy for when they are recording). i knew i would have to make these into some gritty black and whites, so i turned on all the lamps i could and cranked my settings way up (hello 6400 ISO, thanks nikon!) and shot with just available light. all the wires and cases and clutter gave the space character, and i shot through glass for the vocal recordings which added more depth.
here are a few of my faves.
enjoy!

the sweet mack & gentlemen husbands live at vinyl & horseshoe tavern

this first set of shots are from last week at vinyl in guelph. the sweet mack had a short but sweet set to start off the night, and gentlemen husbands killed it at the end of the night with their american rock. plus they covered tom petty's american girl and if you know me, you know thats something i definitely enjoyed.
the last 3 shots are from a few days later, when the sweet mack played at the famous horseshoe tavern in toronto. always a pleasure!
enjoy!
