Sick Puppies shots by Longoria Photography

"Sick Puppies

Sick Puppies opened up for Shinedown a couple of months ago and unfortunately the band did not approve any photo passes so I had to sit and just watch their performance. This was the first time I saw them live and I was floored by their bassist Emma Anzai and I remember thinking “Man I wish I was shooting this show!” simply because Emma was rocking out the entire set! That is something that as a concert photographer I love to see. Having a member on stage with that much prescience and enthusiasm makes for a fun night of shooting.

For this first shot of Emma, I knew I really wanted to catch the movement of her hair as she trashed about on stage so I chose to slow down my shutter to 1/125th in order to still get that sense of movement but also to still keep some sharpness in the static portions of the photo while also keeping tabs on my camera shake. Looking back on it now I probably could have slowed it down quite a bit more in order to get more motion blur from her but ehhhh…. I’ll try that next time!..."

Those are some really great photos - the one of Mark is exceptional since it is very difficult to get a good shot of him !

[Julie]

I think my favorite is also the B/W shot of Emma. Very nice!

[Hollee]

Those are phenomenal shots. LOVE the B&W. Wish I could get a print of it and blow it up. I have a thing for B&W photography.
