Tonight, May 19, 2017, was the opening night of Rose Music Center At The Heights’ third concert season. The season opened strong with the always great Brit Floyd in concert 2017. Last year I photographed this Dayton area concert on behalf of the band. This year, I was happy to be allowed to once again photograph for the band. The set is always beautiful and the band is outstanding. This was a great way to start my Dayton concert photography season.
I photographed Brit Floyd for the first time in 2016. When I found out I would get to photograph Floyd in 2017, I went back to look at last year’s photos. I knew it would be a soundboard shoot which actually excited me. I prepared by having a long lens for close-ups and a wide-angle lens to get the massive visuals. Since no one in the band is a “star” the overall visual of the show is most important. The lighting design is one of the best!
