Renegade's Live Show & Some Jibba Jabba...

Hello once again world(a.k.a. small audience). Every time I get put under pressure I always find myself exceeding my own expectations. Case in point,this live event with a group called Renegade at the Cobblestone Village in Mountain Creek (RenegadeHipHop.com) It was an album release party and it went very well. Not only for myself but for Renegade. What caught me by surprise was that I never would have imagined there are people this good in my town lol. I was feeding off of their energy and having a great time.
I am pleased with the images that I posted...BUT....since I am a perfectionist in a way I couldn't help but think of what I could have done better.
*Lighstands could have been weighed down, better wireless equipment, better lenses, more wide shots. More, more, more, better, better, better*
To be honest thats what goes through my head every second before I open the shutter. The best part was that it was noticed by some of the people around me. Whether I was running around and asking people to scoot for a place up on stage for a shot I had in mind, or pointing fingers and giving instructions, it showed and it payed off. Having some issues with my equipment didn't stop me from snapping as many photos as possible of course. And I was able to reach out to a few people and spread the word about what I do. I only wish that there was a way to show everyone how passionate I am about what I do(and CAN do) with a camera in the time it takes to say 'Hello'. Thinking about building my portfolio and just having the word 'Hello!' in bright bold letters on the cover,I guess thats one way of doing it...
Anyway, I have been asked to take some photos of Renegade once more and am looking forward to that experience again!

As far as these upcoming shoot ideas,still in the works. Like I tell some people,"You can't rush greatness." Hoping to get some things done next week and have the images out to the public that following Monday.Keep creative people.
