I recently had the opportunity to link up with Oceano and To the Grave at their Houston, TX stop of the Living Chaos Tour. It’s been a while since I’ve made it to a show or covered any live music, so it was a nice change. It was a great night with some solid people and an awesome show. Oceano and To the Grave had me out to shoot some promos and snap some live shots.
This was my first time going to a show at Scout Bar. The options were pretty limited when it came to locations for the promos, but we managed to make the most of what we had there. For To the Grave, we utilized a storage container behind the venue that was open. I think it worked out pretty well to create some images with a grittier vibe. I wanted to shoot something edgier and a bit raw to accompany the band’s sound, especially on their recently released album.
When it came to the photos for Adam (Oceano), we were pretty pressed on time and were quickly losing light. I chose to keep it fairly simple and use the tree line behind the venue as the backdrop. Overall, the shoot was a success, especially for only having about 5 to 10 minutes to shoot.
