Ghost of Gloria


About a month ago I had a shoot with a local south Florida band called Ghost of Gloria. We met at the Hard Rock Casino in Hollywood, Florida. We had no clear cut idea of where we were going to shoot, but as I walked around, I ran into a friend of mine who I met playing basketball when I used to live in South Florida. He also happens to own the club Passion. Since it was a Tuesday afternoon and the club was closed to the public, he gave us access to shoot anywhere we wanted. It was a very fortuitous happening, and I was very grateful to say the least. 

Once we got inside the club and decided on a location to shoot, I started to set up my equipment, but we had an issue with a power source, so the setup ended up being my laptop, camera, and a folding reflector to bounce light from the window onto the band members. This created very hard light and dark images, but it seemed to work.



After we left the club, we went in the parking garage where we found a couple of red chairs sitting aside alone, so we decided to use them. I had one of the band members throw one in the air and then act natural like he didn't throw it, and a chair was just floating in the air. I guess I could of done this in post, but it was more fun actually doing it. Can you guess who threw the chair?

Here are a couple of solo shots that we shot in the club.
