Family Force 5 have been rocking Warped Tour for several years now, and 2011's festival circuit was no exception. These guys always put on a great performance.

One of the things I loved about this show was the balloons the band wore for their first song, which included B&W portraits of each band member. For a festival atmosphere, I thought this idea of introducing a larger-than-life aspect to the show was a clever addition, and perfect for helping fans farther out in the crowd identify band members.

Photographer's Notes:

Cameras Used:

  • Nikon D3
  • Nikon D700

Lenses Used:

Photographing a show like this takes some focus. With Family Force 5, there's constantly something happening on stage, so as a music photographer, you have to know what to shoot and when. I think it would be too easy to get a bit lost with all the frantic
