My friend from high school was in town and mentioned that her fiance’s band, The Loom, was playing in DC. I asked her if they allowed flash photography and she said of course. I used it as an opportunity to experiment with some flash techniques that would still retain the ambiance of the club. By the end of their set, they had the whole crowd singing along with the song that accompanies the linked slideshow below. Hope you enjoy them.
