Here’s a quick preview from Andrew Bird at the Pageant last night. This lead shot is a full-frame, uncropped image made with the Nikon 85mm f/1.4 on the Nikon D3 at ISO 2000 and 1/200 at f/1.4.
Andrew Bird always has a slightly special place in my heart, not only because I love his music, but because photographing him in 2006 was my very first official photo pass.

This Andrew Bird show was all about primes. I shot at f/1.4 or f/1.6 the whole night with these primes and they ate up the tricky lighting with ease.
Stay tuned for the full set and shooting notes.

Hi Todd,
Great photos…
By any chance, did you get any photos of the opener, comic (and my brother) Eugene Mirman?
BTW – big fan of your work, super-educational AND inspiring.

Hey Ilya,
Unfortunately I arrived as Eugene was wrapping up! Which is a shame, I now wish I could have photographed your brother. Thanks for the kind comment.
