Rock Star Supernova

Despite what you might expect from a band that was born of a reality show I thought the performance at Radio City Music hall last night was really fun and enjoyed the music quite a bit. Lukas Rossi really pulls off the rock star role and has alot of charisma. I think they have a chance of making it with someone like him fronting the band.
Here are two of my favorite shots.

Miranda Lambert and some fun with Compositing

I shot Miranda last night at The Mercury Lounge and got a couple of minutes with her backstage after the show. I came up with this portrait. The second one is a composite that occurred to me during the show. Her guitar player has this amazing set up of effects and the one in the lower left corner had a big 'ol Miranda Lambert sticker on it. I shot that first and then shot other pix of him ending with his face to composite the whole scene. A few years ago I was working with a band on their album art and had suggested a treatment something like this for the cover art. We ended up doing something else but I'd love to do this with a band at some point.
