23rd October 2009

"Whalebone" performed live at Evesham Arts Centre on the 23rd October 2009, and as Arts Centre Photographer, I was on hand to record it. As I took more photographs in this session than normal, I've decided to give it its own collection, rather than put into the main Arts Centre one.

I was given permission to photograph during the first set. I apologise if this spoilt things for anyone, but I feel that musicians really should be photographed at work if possible, as otherwise there is little to distinguish them from the audience. This is probably a one-off situation; I don't normally stay for the performances, but I had a feeling I would enjoy Whalebone and I did.

I wouldn't say this was my best work; the conditions I was working under weren't ideal and were pretty much the opposite than for the River Festival bands. I will also admit I still need to work on taking control where I can; there's one photograph at least where I should could have altered the conditions for a better shot, but didn't. I have reworked some of the images in Paint Shop Pro, which has improved some of them to a limited degree.

I haven't heard anything from "Whalebone" about copies, but am quite happy to supply them to the band if asked.

[This collection comes under the existing agreement with Evesham Arts Centre, and is not subject to the new conditions]
