In a rare acoustic set, Brendon Urie of Panic at the Disco fame treated fans to an intimate performance opening for Fall Out Boy as a part of the (RED)Nights concert series.
Photographer’s Notes:
This concert was two songs, no flash. Lighting on Brendon was relatively low for this light, though the first song did see some nice white backlighting and a relatively large amount of haze over the stage.
Light from the front consisted of a very warm wash that covered the singer’s face in orange-red during the first song, which shifted to more of a magenta tint during the second song. The second song also introduce a deep blue wash in place of the white of the first song for a very low-contrast treatment.
For this performance, Brendon remained seated with his guitar, flanked in front by two speaker monitors at the front of the stage, which were a factor in composition – for better or for worse.
I shot at ISO 2000 at f/2.8, between 1/100 and 1/200 for these images.

Fantastic as always. The light looks angelic and the energy is defiantly captured. I wish I was there!
Hey Allyssa,
Thanks for the kind words, hope you can make it to the next show, welcome back from your trip.
Again, nice work doing a lot with a little. I especially like the one of him smirking a little right before taking his seat. It works nicely as contrast with all the other by the book live shots.
Hey Chris,
Thanks for the comment. A little contrast is always good, and when I saw Brendon coming to the mic I knew it might be a good opportunity to catch him in a slightly more different light before he got into his performance.

the photos are great. it seems like pretty much all the venues you shoot at have really amazing lighting. your lucky! just one simple white spot is a concert photographers wet dream.
Hey EV, thanks for the comment. I have to assure you, all the venues I shoot don’t have great lighting! Naturally most arenas and amphitheater shows are well lit, but at the Pageant where this show was held, lighting can be rough if a tour doesn’t bring their own.
It’s funny, because Brendon here had better lighting than Fall Out Boy. He didn’t get any white spotlights from the front, unfortunately. I neutralized as much of the color cast as I could on him – white light from the front would have been great.
These are really nice. Are these few your best ones or were there more good ones?
I have shot a couple acoustic shows, someone standing at a mic with a guitar and it seems like most of my photo’s were all the same. Probably need to just learn some better composition skills.
These are great to use as examples…
Thanks again for all you do for this community!
