Marching Band Photography
Before and After Editing
The equipment I used for these was a Canon SL1, 18-55mm lens, 55-250mm lens and a 50mm lens. I did minimal editing in Lightroom Classic, only adjusting the brightness, color contrast, rotation and crop.
Purpose
I was asked by the band director from the high school that I attended to take photos of the marching band. The person that was previously taking photos did not have a child in the band anymore.
Target Audience
These photos were taken mainly for the parents of the band students and the band director. However, students and their family members will probably also view them.
Problem Solving
Before this, I had never taken pictures as a job for anyone except myself so it was a learning curve. Also, I had never shot any type of sporting event or band competition so I had to test out different settings for the day versus the night performances.
Mockups
Social Media
The Band Director asked that I upload the images to their Band Booster Facebook group for all of the parents to view. The images were edited and uploaded within a week of each event.
