Midnight Risers

I don’t know that I’ll ever be able to call myself specifically a wedding or a portrait photographer, because honestly, I love the challenge of stepping outside my comfort zone (if it’s possible to call shooting a wedding any sort of comfort zone) and photographing all sorts of different people, places, events, and things. So I was delighted when Anna contacted me awhile back about doing a promotional shoot for her band, Midnight Risers. I immediately went and listened to some songs they had posted online, and I loved their gritty country/rock sound and knew they’d be great to get in front of my camera. We arranged to meet up in and around downtown Birmingham during the Birmingham Arts and Music Festival a couple of weekends ago since everyone would be in town at the same time, and I had so much fun hanging out with these guys and then getting to see them play live that same night. They’re seriously good… go have a listen. :)

I love the one of them in the store with her seated and the guys holding the giant I F letters and the waist closeup one too!

I love how you described their music as gritty country/rock and then you were able to transfer that feel of their music and turn it into images. Very cool. I love all of the grain, the unexpected poses, the unconventional angles. That takes creativity and cooperation and trust. Love these!
