Here’s just one from Paul van Dyk’s set tonight, because hey, it’s 5am. The full set will drop soon.
This gig was my first time photographing a DJ, and my second using Nikon’s “Creative Lighting System” of wireless flash. All things considered, I think it worked out OK.
Stay tuned for the full set of images, coming up soon.

This should be interesting! :)
I’ll stay tuned, see you after you have rested!
Hey Celso, it was definitely an interesting experience. The DJ booth was incredibly cramped, so there was really only one shooting angle. Still, I think the shoot went well. All the details in the full write up.
5AM. Good Grief. You’ll have to tell me how the CLS worked out!
Next day turn-around – or in this case, same “morning” – was not very cool. The only consolation is that the gig was really fun.
That, and the publication pays really fast. :)
hey hey… can’t wait to see the pictures.. the ones you’ve got up already are really good.. and the show was amazing! i didn’t get home until about 630/7 so i feel your pain! =]
Hi Amanda, I should be posting the rest of the PvD shots on Monday or Tuesday of next week. The lack of sleep definitely punished me today, but I guess it just goes with the game.
Cant wait to see the pictures man!!! Nice meeting you last night!
Hey Charlie, nice to meet you as well! Stay tuned for the full set.
Hot D@mn. Thats already the coolest club shot I’ve ever seen. Gosh, I’ve gotta cash in on a CLS system!
Hey Keith, thanks! I gotta say, this set actually sold me on Nikon’s CLS.
The SB-600s worked perfectly with the SB-800 acting as the commander, and the whole setup was super easy. I’m going to go into the details in the full post.
Thanks again for the help in setting this up. Both Amin and Yanix were super nice and were great about everything at Dante’s.
I met Paul van Dyk’s agent and tour manager, and both were really nice, too. I’ll be passing them a link to a gallery of the full set.
Yeah, Eric said your shots were SUPER awesome. I am gonna click refresh all night until you post some new stuff….jk. This is making me wait to jump over to the Canon side of things….
Yeah, I was testing the lights during Eric’s set and showed him a few shots while he was spinning. I’m definitely going to send him one shot that worked out.
Unless you need a new camera right now, both Canon and Nikon will be announcing some new stuff at Photokina this September. Photokina is the world’s biggest photo expo and a lot of manufacturers announce their big products then.
Even if you don’t get something just out/announced, the new releases will drive down prices on other gear. If you can wait, of course.
What a joke, your pictures are ABSURD! I can’t wait to see more! The slideshow on RFT was awesome dude, you’re the MAN!
Hey Yanix, thanks! The RFT always wants a lot of crowd shots, but rest assured that I’ll be posting the full set of PvD in my write-up.
Thanks again for all the help!
Make sure you put the ones with my and my friends up, you took several!! :-]
Cant wait buddy!!
Love, love, LOVE PvD! And can’t wait to see more of your pics of him!
Hey Lori, I just uploaded the rest of the set to Flickr and will be posting them next week.
I hadn’t listened to PvD since the Politics of Dancing, but it was a fun gig!
glad we got you in there :)
