I'll be doing some photography of a Boston cover band this Friday night, and I'd love some input from the performers here.
Drummers are typically difficult to photograph, especially in small venues. The drummer has cymbals, stands, mikes, and guitarists in front of him/her, plus the stages are usually pretty cramped, with limited access behind, and it's dark in back.
I do have some experience, and some work I'm reasonably proud of: https://www.shinymachines.com/p234616552
What I'd like to know from performers here is: What photos do you want to see of yourselves?
How can I make you look as great as possible?
What views and angles do you think would be great but aren't commonly photographed?
Conversely, what do you NOT want?
What would be bad to do since it would interfere with your performance?
Thanks! I want to make everyone look great, but drummers most of all.
