In a nice festival surprise, Dashboard Confessional came in with one of the nicer lighting treatments of Bamboozle with a good dose of haze and a relatively lush wash of colors over the stage.

Photographer's Notes:

Cameras Used:

  • Nikon D3
  • Nikon D700

Lenses Used:

This show was one of the surprises of Bamboozle in terms of lighting. While during the shoot lighting seemed pretty harsh with deep shadows, the actual effect came off pretty well in post.

Naturally, singer Chris Carrabba was the best lit member of the band, and the natural target subject. While he stays close to the mic, Chris is still a great subject thanks to the wide range of facial expressions made during his performance.
