Location

The photo ,along with many others, was taken in Toronto at The Rockpile Nightclub February 1, 2013.

Time

Shot around midnight on the first of February.Although it was a damn cold night outside, the club was packed, most people covered in perspiration and having a fine time

Lighting

The lighting in The Rockpile for this show was, by far, the worst lighting conditions imaginable. As tiny aas the stage is , it is ail backlit using older fresnel lights and a few Par Cans.They've since upgraded their lighting to front scanners and moving LeD's

Equipment

In 2013 I wwas using a Canon 50D and a 1D MKIIn. I belive this was shot with the 1D MkIIn.

Inspiration

There was no thinking when I took this.Johnny Dee had positioned himself in such a way that he was perfectly silhoutted against the Par Light. It was, simply put, "The right moment".

Editing

Just a simple black and white conversion, nothing more.

In my camera bag

Today? a Canon 6D and I still keep the 50D as a backup. As for glass.. The Nifty 50 a 24-70 F 2.8, a 70-200 F4 USM.a Rokinon 8mm Fish/superwide manual lens. (I really like the Rokinon,it's one of the first ones they released. Crappy coating and not very sharp but its a fun lens in some situations.

Feedback

Concert shooting, for me is understanding the band you're shooting. If I havent attended one of their shows I will be on youtube for hours studying their setlists and the stage settings, props and choreography.Once I have a good idea of their setlist and if theres anything to watch for I will take a few notes and study them again prior to their set. In most cases you have 2,3 songs to get "The Shot", so you better be prepared.
