Photos: Escape The Fate @ Pop’s

I've had the pleasure of photographing Escape The Fate last year at The Bamboozle, and so I was very curious to see how the band's energy translated from festival to club. As it turns out, the explosive power of these guys is as much fun in a smaller venue, if not more.

Photographer's Notes:

Cameras Used:

  • Nikon D3
  • Nikon D700

Lenses Used:

Escape the Fate are just flat out fun to photograph. When frontman gives the double finger, not just to one photographer, but three in succession, I had to think back to Kiss and how those pros mug.

Technically, this show was generally bright enough not to stress, but the lighting was unpredictable enough to keep everyone on their toes. The funny thing about editing this show was the distinct color separation between songs – the first song was all magenta-white uplighting, the second all red, and the third, cool greens and blues.
