Before I get to the candid stuff I wanted to share the rest of our promo shots from my day in the mountains with Harlowe and the Great North Woods. I know the snowball frames are probably going to be everyone’s favorite, but I’m particularly fond of the portraits I took of each member on their own, sans snow in the face. A rare moment of peace amongst a group of rowdy boys, if you will. :)
The last photo is actually completely candid, but I couldn’t stop myself from using it as a segue into the next post, which will be comprised mostly of photojournalist style portraits (ie., snowball fight!).
Harlowe’s next show will be alongside another wonderful Portland band, Great Wilderness, at the Doug Fir Lounge on March 14th.

on February 21, 2012 11:33 pmI've loved this entire series so, so much. You chose such a magical setting and I love the pops of color that everyone is wearing. Everything looks that much more vibrant in that sea of white. You are also inspiring me to try the Brenizer Method, which I have been too intimidated to try.

on February 21, 2012 11:36 pmThank you, Jade!
I've been planting the seed of an informal "workshop" for Portland peeps who want to do some more hands-on learning about bokeh panoramas. I'll be sure to let you know if anything comes of it!

on February 21, 2012 11:37 pmP.S., it looks scary, but is actually pretty easy. You could try it right now, on a mug in your kitchen if you wanted to! Just shoot in JPG and then load all the photos into this program: https://www.cs.bath.ac.uk/brown/autostitch/autostitch.html The software is free, so all you have to lose is a few actuations on your dSLR and maybe 20 minutes of your Tuesday night. I say do it! :)

on February 22, 2012 8:40 amKim, you've really outdone yourself with these. Magical is quite the perfect word, actually, and I think if I were the band I would nevver want anything else but you to photograph my promos!

on February 22, 2012 11:04 amThe snowball series is fantastic. I love their expressions and how differently they seem to have reacted: happy, surprised, serene, Buddhist monk.
The individual portraits are really great, too! Are you using them for an album release? A poster?

on February 22, 2012 10:18 pmSlowly getting caught up on my blog reading, so I'm a bit late with this. But damn, this is awesome! I love those snowball shots, for sure. I also love that first vertical. Such cool shots. (And how FUN!)

on February 29, 2012 9:12 pmAww, thanks Rochelle! :) I know we say this a lot, but Chris and I are really hoping to come visit you guys soon. We miss y'all like the dickens!

on February 24, 2012 2:59 pmhahaha! I love these so much. I know exactly what I'm doing next time I go to the snow: hurl a snowball at the wife and take a picture...wait, that might not work out so well for me...
