World/Inferno

Live Photography

A long time friend of mine is in a band out of NYC called World/Inferno Friendship Society. His name is Brian Viglione, one time/long time original member of The Dresden Dolls. Brian and World/Inferno were coming to Boston and he was kind enough to get me a photo pass so I can go nuts. And that I did. Aside from mostly red lighting, which I suspect is just part of their act, the lighting was pretty good. But perhaps most importantly, the show was fuckin insane! It was hardcore at its finest! It’d be a long time, probably about 12 years, since I’d seen a real, authentic, hardcore act. No doubt about that Jack Terricloth and his merry band are the real thing!

As a side note, one of the things I enjoy most about shooting a band or a theatre production is that there is usually a unique relationship that forms during the performance between the performers and the camera – not me, but the camera. On occasion I’ll catch a performer catching themselves staring straight into the lens. Sometimes there’s a moment where they seem almost shocked and annoyed at themselves, but more often than not I get a glimpse into the performer, their vanity, and their passion for performance and entertainment. There were a couple moments of moments like that with Jack and with Brian.

Enjoy.

    So, this is a post that is supposed to have an image? I asked Scott Webb @nuwomb to talk about his new Exposure site, http://www.urbanhdr.com/, and chimb in at the Woo forum. Nice work by the way. I'm looking forward to getting this together.

      Yeah, having another issue though. Can’t get Popular Posts to show up in my footer, even though many of my posts have comments, which is what apparently drives that widget. Thanks for your help with the image problem!
