Mick Jagger, The Rolling Stones, 1980
Situation: How do you capture an original shot from a show where there are 30 other photographers who are standing shoulder to shoulder in front of a stage which is 8-feet high, and you are given only three songs to shoot? Let's make that a little more challenging: Half of the photographers are shooting with flash, which means the lighting is going to suck.Solution: If I had stood with the herd of photographers right below the stage, I would have gotten washed out shots of the inside of Jagger's nostrils (not a pretty sight). The flashes of the other photographers would have interfered with my available light exposures.) Instead, I stood approximately 10 feet from the stage on the right side of the aisle. This gave me the ability to shoot straight on without shooting up the nose. There was one other veteran photographer who had the same idea. Half way through the show we gave each other knowing nods. -- Richard E. Aaron
