So, after requesting a photo pass for an upcoming concert, I received this e-mail from the publicity team.

"Your work is amazing! Would you be interested in shooting the band before the show in a quick photo shoot environment? Maybe just some candid shots around the outside of the venue. If we like any of them, we can discuss terms to purchase a few from you. Please let me know so I can set it up with the tour manager. Thanks!"

I obviously said I would do it, no question there. My problem now is that I really haven't done anything close to this before (the closest thing I've done is promotional shoots for a play). The show is at night, so lighting will be a must. All I have for a strobist setup is 2 heads and pocket wizards and umbrellas.

Here's a google street view of what the venue looks like (im surprised the building hasn't been condemned). On the good side, it should make for at least a somewhat interesting backdrop. I was thinking of using the grafittied garage door on the right side of the street as a backdrop for a few shots.

My biggest concern is that there are 6 band members. I'm not really sure what to do in that regard in terms of posing, etc.

Any insight/examples of other work would be greatly appreciated!!!
