Brand new Chromeo images for Nightlife September issue

Mercredi 1 septembre 2010

During our very busy Osheaga week-end, we also had a cover and a short editorial to shoot for Nightlife.ca early on the sunday morning with now worldwide hailed local duo Chromeo. All in all, we roughly had an hour and an half with the boys… Simply put, we needed to be extremely precise and efficient. And fortunately enough, those 2 guys were very helping with their charismatic presence and ease in front of the lens.

So, since we had the opportunity, this time around we photographed Dave One and P-Thug with a twist.  As a matter of fact, we went for continuous lighting instead of our regular flashes allowing us, for many reasons not explained here, to better control ambient lighting and to play with colors in the entire image right on the spot (for instance, on the 1st image: orangish in the foreground, blueish on the right handside and cyan in the background).

In a small time-window, we ended up with 4 different and very satisfying set ups at Indy Auto (whose owner Nick is such a sweet character by the way) with a really nice feel and textures now featured in the September issue of Nightlife.ca.

Osheaga/Urbania/Nightlife: Le week-end « bands, bands, bands » en mots et en images

Jeudi 5 août 2010

Juste avant d’être interviewés comme « Blogueurs de la semaine » par Urbania, SPG et LePigeon étaient à Osheaga, deux jours durant, accompagnés de la bonne vieille Marie-Élaine Guay, afin de photographier et jaser (jour 1 et jour 2) avec les artistes avant ou après leur performance (The WalkmenJapandroidsHovatronMarie-Pierre Arthur, We Are Wolves, Ariane Moffatt, The Gaslight Anthem).

Entremêlé à tout ça, les 2 photographes se sont levés aux petites heures du matin, dimanche, afin de réaliser la prochaine couverture du Nightlife avec le duo Chromeo dont le nouvel album « Business Casual » sortira en septembre.
