But with great tunes comes increased promotional needs and the need for some photographs to assist that promotion. We have a couple of mutual friends who recommended him my services and so he commissioned me for a promotional photography shoot. I was quite surprised that we had never met before because he&#8217;s a safe guy and his tunes are right up my alley. Check this mix he did for 1xtra&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"100%\" height=\"166\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"no\" src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player?url=https%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F119942180&#038;player_height=&#038;player_height_multi=&#038;player_width=&#038;player_type=visual&#038;color=825ce2&#038;auto_play=false&#038;show_comments=&#038;show_user=&#038;buying=&#038;sharing=&#038;download=&#038;show_artwork=true&#038;show_playcount=&#038;hide_related=\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Back to the shoot and we started by having a brew and a chat in my favourite haunt, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.easternblocrecords.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Eastern Bloc Records<\/a>. A famous photographer (who&#8217;s name evades me) once said something like \u201conly 10% of a portrait shoot is spent taking pictures\u201d. The real art in photographing people is connecting with them and trying to coax them from their shell a little for the camera, which may not be an easy task with someone you have only known for an hour or less!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1406 alignleft\" title=\"photographer Manchester\" src=\"http:\/\/gbmultimedia.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/DVWLX_291013_GaryBrown-1.jpg\" alt=\"photographer Manchester\" width=\"576\" height=\"383\" srcset=\"http:\/\/gbmultimedia.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/DVWLX_291013_GaryBrown-1.jpg 800w, http:\/\/gbmultimedia.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/DVWLX_291013_GaryBrown-1-300x199.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 576px) 100vw, 576px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The other reason for the sit-down was to wait for our mutual mate, Mr Al Sonar, to come and let us in to Mint Lounge. Al works for the venue and had previously said we&#8217;d be able to get in and use it for the shoot \u2013 very nice of him. I&#8217;ve shot many a night in there so I knew there was plently of scope for variation inside (not to mention it was tipping it down so shooting outside was off the menu!).<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>When we got in I set up my lighting equipment and we got to work. I like to try and keep things moving on a shoot so only do a couple of shots with each pose\/background, I&#8217;d hate for my subject to ever get bored! We got some killer shots &#8211; my favourites being the bar and speaker ones \u2013 and then head outside as it had stopped raining. After a few more images in Stevenson Square we were wrapped. As it also happened to be DVWLX&#8217;s birthday we finished things up with a cocktail and burger in the wicked &#8216;Lust, Luck, Liquor &amp; Burn&#8217; restaurant.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div
