Photographing Out Aloud: Sheffield's Gay Choir.

DSC_0804ed1


Recently, I photographed Out Aloud, which is Sheffield's LGBT Choir.

It was a really interesting project, the key to which was meticulous organisation. I attended a week before I was taking the photos, so that I could get an idea of the room, the lighting, and do test shots, all of which I took a note of, with different lenses, focal lengths, and flashes.

This meant that I could attend on the week with confidence that I was as prepared as I could be. I had made notes of the shots I wanted too, which helped me reassure myself that I wasn't leaving at the end of the night, missing a crucial shot.

It's always worth remembering that, when the choir requests a 'silly photo' at the end, getting everyone to jump at the same time is trickier than it looks. Each photo represented various stages in what was essentially a mexican wave. I don't know why tenors and basses are so much quicker off the mark than the sopranos and altos, but it was consistently true.

All the photos can be viewed here in their flickr set, and if choir members or others want to buy individual prints, they can do so here.

A CD of the photos is going to the choir committee, for them to use them.

I am so pleased to announce that Lilith Silvermane is the winner of my bloggy giveaway.

I was so overwhelmed that 70 people entered, it made me happy :)

This is the email I have sent to Lilith the winner:
