Tempting Fate.. the Four Colour Ghosts debut album.

So here the debut album has arrived, sounds great with some huge anthems. I've had hold of a CD for a while and played it to death on the commute to London, love it.. so grab a copy when it hits the shelves. To keep up with that info and what the bands up to.. go check out the website The Four Colour Ghosts.

Now lets get down to the photography and the making of the images. As you'll have gathered by now, shooting bands and musicians is a big part of what I do along with the portraits and the stylist shoots. All the skills I have learnt over the past few years came in to play for this photography.

The cover was shot in The Rabbit Hole Studio, my home studio based in the cellar of the house. Lighting for the front and back cover was a grid flash if anyone is wondering about the technical side of things. The cards was a great idea, the turning card keeping everyone guessing as to what has in store for the band.

The following pictures will be used for album promo material and some shots going inside the cover. I liked the idea of shooting the lads on stage with my lighting rigs and then doing some portrait work.. hopefully making the band look cool with a gritty edge.

There has been debate, should the shots be colour or black and white.. for me I like the black and white edgy edits. makes the lads look gritty and meaning business.

Hopefully more bands and musicians may find my photography to their liking and get in touch.
