Robert Forster @ Brisbane Powerhouse

Robert Forster

Got another of those last minute requests, this time to cover Robert Forster’s gig at the Brisbane Powerhouse, which I couldn’t say no to.  Unfortunately it was a 3 songs and escorted out of the venue job, which was a shame as I always enjoy seeing him play.  In addition, it was a bit of a frustrating shoot as we were only allowed to photograph from way out to the side of the stage, the high positioned lighting meant dark shadows under his brow so it was hard to get a shot of his eyes, and he played the first three songs (at least) solo on an acoustic guitar with the rest of his band no where in sight.  Not the greatest shots ever.  Although the colour of the lighting was fine, as usual, I prefer the monotone shots.
