So this was the start of my experiments with band photography, a band called Town. I don't expect anyone to know who they are but they are an amazing band from Wales, and some really lovely guys. It's not the greatest of pictures but for my first go at it I think I did alright.
I had managed to get a photopass for Twin Atlantic, Town were supporting, and this was the first show I had ever photographed. I was so nervous. What made it worse was that I wasn't the only photographer there, there were about 20 in the smallest venue I had been in. I think most of the crowd were photographers, all in each others way and just trying to get the perfect shot.
So for anyone that is reading this who wants to start this kind of photography, it's just all about getting in the right spot, it doesn't matter who you are blocking, you'll be out of there way soon enough. Thankfully this show didn't have a barrier and I could stand at the side of the stage, but being in front of a barrier is amazing and shit scary all at the same time.
