Band & Live Music Photography - South by Southwest 2009
The next big trip for Static Photography was traveling down to the southern section of Austin, Texas for the yearly festival of South by Southwest . SXSW includes four days of Interactive and Film followed by four final days of Music .
Kris was there for the whole festival, taking pictures of the participants of Interactive as well as photographing bands at their live performances during the Music section. Having previously been published in the LA Times , Kris' candid portraits of Interactive were chosen for a few selections of the 2009 Times coverage of SXSWi.
Photographing Bands at South by Southwest

(Note: this blogpost is in-progress... system malfunctioning... links and stuff coming soon.) We went to SXSW again this year to shoot as many musicians and concerts as possible. This time around we spent a little bit of time doing some pre-planning so that in addition to live concert shots of some of the best indie bands around, we could also schedule several bookings for editorial shoots with bands.
