Photos: The Devil Wears Prada @ The Bamboozle

With the second day of The Bamboozle, I couldn’t think of a better way to start than with metalcore wunderkinds The Devil Wears Prada.

Photographer’s Notes:

Despite some technical difficulties and not having toured just prior to this show, I thought TDWP delivered in true and characteristic form.

With abundant open shade and a hazy afternoon sky, photographing The Devil Wears Prada at The Bamboozle was a distinctly easier challenge than when I caught up with the guys opening for Killswitch Engage earlier this year. Shooting at the D3 and D700‘s base ISO with blazing shutter speeds certainly doesn’t hurt.

I photographed The Devil Wears Prada primarily with the Nikon 24-70mm f/2.8 and the Nikon 70-200mm f/2.8. While the band’s lighting and movement don’t generally allow for extensive telephoto photography, I thought that this daylight shoot was a great opportunity to use the 70-200mm for some tighter shots of singer Mike Hranica.

End Notes:

With their recently announced headlining tour, I’m looking forward to meeting up with The Devil Wears Prada again this summer. Great guys, and they always put on a killer show.
