Although this wasn't technically last night, it was this weekend. I've been using alot of available light as usual buyt really loved the way the two band members bodies from the Klaxons juxtaposed in this shot and the lighting was beautiful. Webster Hall on Friday.

This actually was last night and again all available light. Years ago I'd shot Mishell and gone to an after party she was having at someones house. There had been signs all over the venue not to use flash, and miraculously, no one. Miraculous because as it turned out if they had Mishell would have gone into an epileptic seizure right there on stage. I know this because later on that night at the party I was in a different room from her and shot a snapshot with my point and shoot and she had a freaking seizure. I feel bad about it to this day. Anyway this shot at Hiro was during one of the last songs. There was just one moment when the position of the light and the position of her hand lined up properly so that her body would block the light from completely flaring my lens and this is what worked out.

Rafi from Miriams, also last night. Part of a story I've been working on for The New York Post.
I'm using two lights here. A ring flash and hot shoe flash. A main near my lens and a second one off on the right that's a stop or two brighter and triggered remotely. Gives me a nice modeling effect and fits inside my camera bag.
I shot this second one because I decided I wasn't crazy about the brick and this cool curtain was available. I like the atmosphere it generates better than the brick and also gives my editors more to choose from.

Unfortunately most folks don't know/care about Meshell's condition. I'm glad folks didn't use flash photography last night. I'm flying down to see her in Sacramento on the 21st. Can't wait.
