I love when weird stuff like this happens.

Belgian rockers Creature With The Atom Brain opened up for Alice In Chains in a heavy, dramatically lit set that hit just about all the primary colors in succession during the first three songs.

While on the one hand I love the pressure of photographing big, rock star bands, one thing that I love about photographing opening bands is the sense of freedom that comes with covering their sets.

Photographer's Notes:

This set was a lot of fun to photograph, even if the use of color washes seemed a little repetitive. If anything, the consistency of the lighting treatment meant that I felt a little more free to take more time with compositions or experiments that I wouldn't normally have the luxury of doing.

When there was a splash of white light, it was a challenge just catching it, as the duration was very quick and the exposure was several stops hotter than the mono-color washes.
