We need some promo shots taking of our band...

Depending on how much time and effort you are willing to expend, a location shoot can produce some quite unique results when compared with a  restricted studio environment.  Of course if you have the budget, the possibilities are limitless.
The price is by the hour with travel taken into  consideration.

Can you attend our gig to do some live shots?

I can photograph your band for the entire set, unless photography restrictions are in place (first 3 only). It's also helpful if the venue has a good lighting rig as it will make all the difference. As above, charges are by the hour, travel expenses, entrance and parking fees are also added if incurred.

You photographed our band at a music festival, can we use your pics on our website or Myspace?

The photos are available for a small fee. However, if you take screen grabs or otherwise download any image, it is an infringement of copyright.

Do you have a studio?

No but I can setup the backdrop and lighting in most indoor locations that have a space large enough to accommodate the equipment.
The flash heads in the image below do not represent a working light setup and are shown for illustrative purposes only.

The photo shows a 7 x 4 metre room with laminate flooring, white walls and ceiling. Ideally the floor colour would be white also! Coloured walls, ceilings or floors can introduce a colour cast as the flash light bounces off them, which can be tricky to totally eliminate from the final shot, especially if the colours are mixed.
The 2.74 metre (9 ft) wide backdrop (excluding backdrop stands) has been extended forward by about 3 to 4 metres. It is important to have a high backdrop to allow shots to be taken from slightly below, otherwise part of the ceiling can be seen if a wide angle lens has to be used due to the lack of space. The preferred lens focal length is 80 -100 mm, which means the photographer will be standing bottom left of the picture or further away, depending on the type of shot.
The setup is suitable for full length shots of small groups (3 adults). Any greater and there is not enough space between people, unless the subject is a family and they are usually shot close together. A half width backdrop can also be used for a single person full length shot if space is tight.
It is not possible to successfully lay the backdrop on to carpet as the paper creases and sinks in, so laminate or a hard floor covering is favoured.
