The good frames happen in the dark.
From the studio
I shoot from the pit and from the back of the room, and I have never once asked a band to do something again. Low light is not a problem to solve, it is the reason the picture looks like the night felt.
Book a session
If the room can tell I am working, I am standing in the wrong place.
The studio
Nightjar Studio photographs live music and the hours around it. Rooms where the light is bad on purpose, shot without a flash and delivered before the tour bus reaches the next city.
Recent work
A handful of frames from recent sessions.
Working together
A plan before the day
A simple run of show, so everyone knows what happens when.
A shot list, and wardrobe notes
The must-have shots and what to wear, worked out ahead of time rather than guessed on the day.
Inspiration, shared
Reference photos land in the plan before the session, so we're aiming at the same picture.
A private gallery, after
Finished photos live in an online gallery just for you, to view, favorite, and download.
