Quick took a look back at the last year in covers, after going from daily to weekly last October. The cool thing is that 31 out of the 52 covers were my photos! Pretty cool, huh?!?
A year of covers…
Karaoke Kings!!!
I’m pretty pleased with the way my karaoke pics turned out in the current issue of Quick. Let me know what you think, too…
These were shot on location at the Winedale Tavern on lower Greenville Ave. I actually brought in my Profoto AcuteB light kit and a softbox to shoot the cover image. The bar is pretty tiny, so it was cramped quarters, trying to shoot with my strobes/softbox taking up space.
I put a bare bulb behind the subject and dragged my shutter to pick up some of that beautiful, rich, natural light and color coming from the neon signs. I think it’s a good balance of strobes and natural light. It feels very “hole in the wall bar” to me… and that’s exactly what the Winedale is.
