Bradley Hathaway

I haven’t been blogging much about my photo taking work at Vintage Faith and I’d like to change that. Obviously much of what I shoot during the services is private and won’t see much light of day. The work I do on the shows after the evening services however are a far different matter. So from time to time you may see photos of church life turn up, but I hope to start posting my favorite shot from the week here.

I’ve added some old photos to flickr that I didn’t have there before so you can look back on some of the work I’ve done since last fall. The first one I’ll post here though is from this Sunday’s show. Bradley Hathaway is a spoken word poet and song writer with an amazing band out of Arkansas. The lighting situation was really frustrating this week because they put all of the lights on the sides of the stage so most of the band was silhouetted the whole time. But any photographer of worth won’t let a little problem like the lack of light stop them from doing their job! Thus while I don’t have any great shots of Bradley’s face, I do like this profile I got.
