I caught up with the guys of The Devil Wears Prada on Monday for a quick portrait session before their performance with Killswitch Engage and Dark Tranquillity. Here's a peak at a shot of the band's frontman Mike Hranica.
All the guys were fun to work with, and Mike was especially cool. We were chatting a bit during his solo shots and he mentioned that he's on Flickr all the time, and actually keeps up with photographers who have shot his band.
Then he surprised me a little by mentioned that I'd shot the #1 most interesting photo his band, according to Flickr. Mike then proceeded to ask if I was going to give them a new #1 live photo.
No pressure, right?
Photographer's Notes:
The keylight here is a Nikon SB-900 fired through our very own Chinatown Special DIY beauty dish camera left. There's also a bit of fill from a 45″ umbrella, positioned camera right, and a tiny bit of rim light from behind and the left.

- Nikon D3 + 24-70mm f/2.8

End Notes:
Stay tuned for the full set of images from the shoot and the live sets for Killswitch, Prada, and Dark Tranquility. In the meantime, you can check out photos of the last time I photographed The Devil Wears Prada here:
