Paloma Faith

Paloma Faith - O2 Academy, Newcastle - Sunday 21st March 2010

So another blog up from my back log of gig blogs. I still have Blogs from AFI, Groezrock 2010, Kids In Glasses and many more to come. I may also be posting some blogs that aren't music related for once!

I have to be honest I'm not a very big fan of Paloma's music - mainly because I don't know what she has really done apart from the odd song I may have heard on the Radio. The main reason for me shooting her at this show was purely because I had heard such good things about her stage performance that I was really keen to have the chance to see & photograph her live.

Her stage performance was everything I had hoped for - epic stage set up, massive walk way around the back, props, backing band in suits, and she dresses to impress. As you can see from the photographs it was something special to watch. Paloma came on stage with two large fans attached to her wrists (see above) which she sung the best part of the first sing with. She was then all over the stage giving a great performance. In her final song she got a guy up on stage from the audience to sing to.

Shootingwize this show was a dream, great lighting meaning I could shoot comfortably on fast shutter speeds and with ISO ranging from 800-1250. After the first 2 songs I was even able to pop out the telephoto lens for a few more close ups. All in all a great shoot to show and a set of images I am really proud of.
