Hedley Mania!
Tuesday, October 21, 2008
So it is a new rule that whenever the Hedley boys are in town - I do their live photos (way too fun). The show this year was just jam packed with amazing lighting, both albums performed, some sweet cover tunes, cool outfits and well... the boys. It feels like not long ago I was in the audience at little venues such as the Underground surrounded by MAYBE 100 people...now 4 years later - I looked out to see THOUSANDS of people in a sold out theater all screaming for Hedley. Insane. Breathtaking a little.
To see a band who I knew had the potential to be huge, actually have achieved that is way too cool. With two sold out Massey Hall shows (the same weekend as Madonna being in town I may add..) I am so proud of these guys. They work their butt off - and it shows. I was honoured to photograph both a Massey show in Toronto and a Hamilton show and capture their awesomeoness, haha!
In the next blog entry, I will post some Hamilton shots as it was only last night and I have yet to edit them, but for now - I leave you with some of my faves from Massey Hall!
PS:
If you have yet to go to a show - i suggest going. It's totally fun, audience involved and quick paced.. and the music's not bad either! ;)
me and the boys before the show:




one of my faves! (love his outfit, haha)



The acoustic set was awesome!

one of my fave pics of Tommy:


smiling at his fans:




Chris giving the drums a break and showing off his guitar skills:





jake hamming it up for the show
(he told me before the show I could take his pic but he says, "do not steal my thunder")

check out the fan grabbing his leg:

Dave rockin out:



for the ladies:


Chris during his drum solo (amazing!!!)


loving the crowds reaction:


another personal fave:


loved the shadow:



introducing...Super Hedley:





and last but not least, I will leave you with a shot that I fell in love with - because the lights were just so awesome!
Here's Jake singing "For the Nights I cant Remember"

Stay tuned for more shots from the Hamilton show, where I did more photos showing off the band and their fans as apposed to just them.
capturing the real you - with an edge,
