On Friday, Rowan Department of Music held a press event announcing they were switching to all Steinway pianos. It was the usual press event speeches, set-up photo-ops, and free food. I tried to not take too many of the usual press event pics (the ones of someone standing and talking.)
Because I was shooting for The Whit (Rowan's student paper) I decided to focus on the students that were playing the new pianos. All the student performances were great, better than I could ever dream about doing.
The hardiest part about shooting the event was trying to keep clean backgrounds. With all the people playing piano, meeting and greeting, and the other photographers shooting, there were a lot of people in a small area.
After a while, there are only so many ways to photograph a student playing piano. I decided to try something different and go for a detail shot. Shooting things differently keeps me from getting bored and gives my editor something different to choose from.
After the event was over, when I was walking out of Wilson Hall I noticed the sky was cool, so I decided to try and get a good shot of the building. I like the way the sections of the roof seem to overlap in the pic.
When the new Issue of the paper is published I'll link to the story.
