Aussie rockers The Temper Trap brought an epic, swirling sound to the Pageant along with a very atmospheric lighting treatment. While lighting was generally very low for this performance, the energy of the fans and the band members themselves made this a fun shoot.
Photographer’s Notes:
Prime lenses saw a lot of use here, though I eventually was able to switch to f/2.8 zooms as the lighting opened up for a few songs during the Temper Trap’s set.
Going into this set, I knew that I’d be disappointed in myself if I didn’t nail at least one shot of singer Dougy Mandagi with his expressive hands raised.

Hey Jesse,
Thanks for the comment. There were roving spots above the band at the back of the stage, and I saw that there were a few moments when the light was hitting the guitar just right. I shot that image during the second pass I saw – definitely worth the wait. Thanks again.
Nice one..!
These guys are busy :) I just shot them two weeks ago during the Dutch Pinkpop fesival.. And now they are in the US again!

I was running from the pit of one stage to another to be able to catch the Temper Trap but I was too late.. I had to take this picture in the crowd with the 1.7 nikon converter ..
Hey Sander,
Yeah, The Temper Trap have been getting around w/ festivals here in addition to their own US tour. They do put on a great show, even when shot tele w/ a 1.7x!
