Recent Hardcore Show Images
I recently read Screaming Life by Charles Peterson and had a revelation about the concerts that I have been shooting here in Lethbridge. Charles in his foreword describes how he considers traditional photographer’s when doing shows. He references many greats such as Gary Winogrand and Robert Frank and how they contributed to the photos he was making. I had never considered the photos I was making for these shows art until I read this book and it totally changed my outlook on this type of photography. This most recent show I focused on the people and space and how they interact with one another. In the past I was caught up in the bands and how could I make them look cool. I traded this idea with caring more about the documentation element of these shows and how I could visually describe the culture at these events.
Printing Tutorials
This is a Canadian photographer who primarily works on film. This outlines the steps to ensure getting a good print that replicates what you see on screen. This second tutorial is great for black and white prints and I found it actually gave my images more of a darkroom warmer quality. I think to actually achieve better prints that emulates the dark room more would be to try warmer paper types. Canon paper is quite cold compared to the illford things.
