Remembering The Shilohs playing at Urban Lounge in downtown Salt Lake City a few years back. ◾ I think I shot this whole show on a Canon 6D with the Canon 50 1.4 --- It's really one of those lens/bodies where you can "Shoot in the dark" if need be. Paired with the 60 I could easily shoot from a 3200 ISO to 6400 ISO and get great images. ◾ New Photography Clients | Booking 📧 Contact [email protected] 📸 Tag/Credit Reposts @Lmsorenson 📲 Check out www.Lmsorenson.net ◾ #music #concert #concertphotography #livemusic#musicphotography #concertphoto #concertphotographer#livemusicphotography #concerts #musicphotographer#concertphotos #concertlife #musicphoto #concertjunkie#band #concertband #gigphotography #concerttime#livephotography #SLCconcerts #SLCshows #urbanloungeslc #canon #ShotOnCanon #canon50mm14 #canon50mm (at Salt Lake City, Utah) https://www.instagram.com/p/CLZyQWGh7_X/?igshid=ikgqqa894l7d

Some images ... I absolutely love rediscovering, re-editing, re-living The moment like it was last week. One such image taken at a Punch Brothers show in downtown Salt Lake, 2015? • Violinist Gabe Witcher in the middle of it, living in the musical moment while on stage with his band mates. Not only reliving something so cool, but also looking back and reflecting on my own 'skills' at the time or lack thereof in some cases. If you swipe to the next image you will see the previous edit I had which leaned heavily on simply bringing down exposure of elements I did not want to include, I even brought down an exposure brush on abandoned member minus five stops, 😅, rather than cropping or using healing brush or something. And if you swipe to the next image that is the raw wide version as shot from the crowd. ◾ Most recent business black and white, I really enjoy black and white for a certain images, it really brings out the emotionality, a raw feeling, it cuts through to the humanity of the image I feel. ◾ Anyway, what do you think? Do you like the new edit, what do you feel about black and white? ***Fun fact, a version of this image is in the Google search page for this musician. ◾ New Photography Clients | Booking 📧 Contact [email protected] 📸 Tag/Credit Reposts @Lmsorenson 📲 Check out www.Lmsorenson.net ◾ #music #concert #concertphotography #livemusic#musicphotography #concertphoto #concertphotographer#livemusicphotography #concerts #musicphotographer#concertphotos #concertlife #musicphoto #concertjunkie #concertband #gigphotography #concerttime#livephotography #htbarp #concertphotographers #SLCconcerts #SLCshows #shotoncanon (at Salt Lake City, Utah) https://www.instagram.com/p/CLKk151BhkX/?igshid=ndepeo7mozfa

New Headshots with Adam Hughes! Excited for him and his new position as the VP of Operations at @builtbylotus 😎 He was great to work with and I really like this shot we got! • Short breakdown of the set-up from the back-forward: ◾ • Savage Gray Roll on a c-stand for the background. • 5-in-1 reflector for just the smallest amount of bounce from the background light (Subject right) • Glow easy lock softbox with a grid & ad400 pro to toss a little light on the background (Subject left) • Photek Softlighter 60 in with ad400 pro as main light (subject front/right) as high as possible with ceilings in mind. The spaces such where I had to lock the subject in by moving it closer/block his exit. • And Canon 5Div with a 70-200 2.8 is ii on a Manfrotto carbon fiber to shoot on. ◾ Expose for ambient, toss a little light on the background, build forward and light subject with main light. Simple 2-light set-up for a smaller shoot space. Thank you Joe for letting me take over your space for the 1/2 hr! ☺️ ◾ Are you needing a headshot, have a new team member? ••• Contact me and we'll set up a shoot right in your work area! ◾ New Photography Clients | Booking 📧 Contact [email protected] 📸 Tag/Credit Reposts @Lmsorenson 📲 Check out www.Lmsorenson.net ◾ #portrait #portraitmood #portraits #portraits_ig #portraitpage #portraitphotography #portrait_perfection #moodyports #portraiture #pursuitofportraits#headshots #headshot #headshotsession #headshotsla #headshotslosangeles #headshotphotographer #headshotsonly #headshotslondon #slc #headshotsSLC #headshotsnyc #headahotsLA (at Salt Lake City, Utah) https://www.instagram.com/p/CK4RJKGBQJO/?igshid=py8s78c6ikex

Searching through and collecting all of my favorite images from past concerts for a project of mine is very revealing and fun. I get to relive the moments just for a second and also review my own process and refine and improve here and there. 📸 Shot from a live show aways back with Depeche Mode. Dave just moving around the stage like a slithering snake, singing to the audience with a giant projection screen covering the entire back of the stage during a outdoor concert at the USANA amphitheater. ◾ New Photography Clients | Booking 📧 Contact [email protected] 📸 Tag/Credit Reposts @Lmsorenson 📲 Check out www.Lmsorenson.net ◾ #music #concert #concertphotography #livemusic#musicphotography #concertphoto #concertphotographer#livemusicphotography #concerts #musicphotographer#concertphotos #concertlife #musicphoto #concertjunkie#band #concertband #gigphotography #concerttime#livephotography #bands #htbarp #concertphotographers #SLCconcerts #SLCshows #depechemode (at Salt Lake City, Utah) https://www.instagram.com/p/CJ_prG9B3BC/?igshid=1q5u54bnbi1ok
