vancouver fashion and portrait photography

At Static Photography it is always exciting when we get the opportunity to shoot a live concert event. Usually a line-up includes one or two really awesome bands (unless it is the SXSW Music Festival !) but sometimes special events when stellar line-ups occur. Such was the Blazed and Confused tour that just came through Vancouver. This prolific tour included the musical acts of Beardo , Mickey Avalon , Slightly Stoopid and Snoop Dogg . Each of these acts in a solo performance would have been amazing, so to have them all on stage for one night was truly a sight. Stephen Marley was on the original tour line-up but was unable to make the Vancouver stop. :(

The Police recently kicked off their reunion tour here in Vancouver and Static Photography was on hand to take some photos of their dress rehersal. As long time fans of Sting and The Police it was amazing to hear them live (something we never imagined happening) and to be able to photograph them the night before they spin up their world tour. As an added bonus that night we ran into Lawrence Fishburne (Morpheus) at the concert and had the chance to take his photo as well.

One of the highlights of this years South by Southwest for us was shooting Iggy Pop live at Stubbs. Iggy is over 60 years old now but still rocks harder than almost anyone we've ever met. Dancing, jumping, screaming, crowd-surfing... the guy just doesn't stand still. Check out more shots of the Iggy Pop & the Stooges live show over at our Flickr account and be sure to get in touch with us if you'd like us to come shoot your band's show.
