This photo shoot had me really, really excited for a number of reasons: Mainly, because it’s not often I get to shoot events that don’t involve balloons or Yo Gabba Gabba. For realz. So it’s some out of the box shooting for me! I jumped at the chance. Decree is a band most often seen around central New York. They are fantastic. And I don’t say that lightly…because if you know me, you know it takes a lot of effort to get me out on a Saturday night! I would go out any night of the week to see these guys! Some of my favorites…
Not only are the guys photogenic, they are pretty damn cool. All of them were up for photos and didn’t mind (apparently) me laying on the ground as they were performing, or mixing it up with all of their fans (and there were a LOT).
There is a saying in photography. It goes something like, “Get the shot that everyone’s paying for, then do your thing.” These next few shots are me doing my thing, ha ha haa!
The next sequence of shots are my favorite. It shows the range that frontman Bill has…he goes from superstar quality to a more brooding, serious singer. I only hope I did them justice…
Check out this band as soon as you can, and like them on Facebook!
