Here’s a quick preview from last night’s show with Greek Fire at Pop’s. This show was pretty important for the band and their fans as it marked the return of their drummer, Johnny Venus. After being diagnosed with Leukemia in February of 2012 and undergoing treatment throughout the year, Johnny was just recently declared cancer free. All the Greek Fire shows I’ve photographed have felt unique, but this was one was particularly special and emotionally charged.
Hit the jump for the images of Moon, Ryan Phillips, Mark Joseph Roth, and Story of the Year’s Dan Marsala (who filled in for Johnny Venus for a number of GF shows this year).

B&W ah? The only photos I can remember you shooting B&W were from Devil Wears Prada I think, pretty cool ones. Expecting to see some nice shots as always Todd!
Hey Manuel,
Thanks for the comment. You know, you’re right! I think the last time I did B&W was for the Devil Wears Prada on Warped Tour 2011. Good memory!
long time don’t see your black and white photo Todd. can’t remember when. but this preview is cool. just wondering, why did you make it black and white for this shoot?
Hi Farid,
Thanks for the comment. I almost always prefer color photos, but the lighting for this show was pretty “dirty.” By that, I mean it had combinations like magenta lighting from the front and white light from the back, or mixtures of red and green and other combinations that I personally don’t feel work well for color photography. Early on in the set, it was pretty clear to me that I was going to want to convert to B&W due to these color combinations.
For that kind of show, I do think black and white would be good. I love how the stage lights give a cool effect! Great shots you got there. Hoping I could learn how to get a good shot. I commonly have problem with getting the right angle or frame. *sigh*
