    I love it! FF5 is one of my favorites to see live. Can’t wait to see the full set!

    • Todd says:

      Hey Shawna, thanks. Going to try and work on this tonight, along with shots from All-American Rejects, portraits of 3OH!3, and the Maine.

  3. Todd Owyoung says:

    Family Force 5 might as well be named Family Force Fantastic, because these guys were a blast to shoot. Preview here: http://is.gd/sKU7

    That is sincerely one of the best concert picture I ever saw ! :D

    • Todd says:

      Hey Alexis. Wow, thanks for the kind words. It was certainly the one shot from the set that stood out to me. Thanks for the comment!

  5. Erin says:

    Um…yeah…seriously, Todd, this should be hanging in a gallery some place. Wickedly awesome! Cannot wait to see the rest!

    Wow awesome shot! I managed to score a media pass this year at parachute music festival here in New Zealand and was allowed in the pit for probably 30 seconds. incredible band but too fast for d70+50mm to focus! heres one semi-decent shot http://www.flickr.com/photos/sundressed/3236442148/in/set-72157613129094156/

    • Todd says:

      Hey Corinne, thanks for the comment. Yeah, the guys in FF5 really do move around quite quickly, there’s always something happening on stage!

    Todd,
    this pic is a manual of composition. It could be written a book on how all the lines from the corners bring the attention to the centre. Eyes never leave the image. Awesome!

  8. Dylan Marshall says:

    I also shot these guys back at Parachute Music Festival in NZ (I remember chatting to you for a bit, Corinne). Insanely fast movers, did you get any shots when Soul Glow Aktivator (lead singer) had the hulk fists on?
