Culture of Greed Session - Last one!

The last location for the Culture of Greed shoot was actually the first one I thought of: train tracks. Tracks always feel so symbolic to me, and they can be interpreted in so many ways: movement/travelling/journeys... the past... desolation... crossroads... And, they just look cool.
Here's some of my favourites:

Culture of Greed Session - Part 3

Just a few paces from that cool boxcar location, Jim and Jet wandered off and stumbled upon a goldmine, in the form of this dilapidated old trailer and dump truck. It was very hard to contain my excitement. These photos were exactly what I had in mind when I set out to shoot Culture of Greed. (In fact, I would love to go back here and just shoot a few rounds on my own. Maybe with my lomo camera & some film.)




Lots more pics, right this way, and one more location coming up.

(Also coming up, pictures from Amy's Cottage, our trip to the CNE, and lots more! I must find more time to edit photos and blog about them!)

Culture of Greed Session - Part 2

So, after spending not too much time inside Culture of Greed's rehearsal space, we decided that it would be a good idea to find a new location. The rain had let up, so we went outside. Jim and Jet started wandering around to the side of the building, not really knowing what it looked like, and found an incredible location. The colours were perfect - faded reds and oranges. There was rust. There were box cars. There was even a shovel. I couldn't believe our luck. Here are some of the shots I took out there:





We even got in a few closeups, against a wicked rusty background:



There's some more pics up here, and a new location coming soon!

Culture of Greed Session - Part 1

While I was down in Florida, I had a photoshoot scheduled with local band, Culture of Greed. This was a bit of a challenge, because it was in a city that I wasn't 100% comfortable with, with very limited transportation and time, and I had to rely on other people to scout my locations for me. But it turned out great because the guys are all fantastic and super professional.

The first location was definitely difficult. It was raining outside, so that ruled out outdoor shots for the first part of the shoot. We went inside to their rehearsal space, which had a very cool atmosphere, but was also very reflective, because of its aluminum walls.

We didn't end up spending too much time here, but we did get some decent shots.
