Congrats Sheila, That was how I got my start in professional photography - shooting bands [with my camera of course]. Remember a couple things - be mindful of what they are wearing - if you are shooting for an album cover, make sure the members are not wearing any T-shirts with trademark logos, or other bands on the shirt - believe it or not, that can get you into problems if the band would ever want to use the image in a commercial venue. Also, don't forget to get out of the studio - I have shot in abandoned buildings, on railroad tracks, and even had the band members climb a telephone pole. If possible, get to know the band before you set up your shooting date. Listen to them play, or better yet - meet with them and find out their likes and dislikes. Most important - Have Fun! Dee-Marie
