Ryan Bingham and crew played a phenomenal, high-energy set at Irving Plaza on the Fear and Saturday Night Tour. Lucky for this photographer, he also brought an awesome lighting treatment to match.

Photographer’s Notes

Irving Plaza is a mixed bag in terms of photography. On some nights you’re stuck with washes of red and green. But every now and then it’s awesome. I wasn’t exactly sure which scenario to expect for this one. Luckily, the rock gods must’ve been looking down on me with favor, because when I got to the venue I found out that the show was being filmed for Yahoo Music. Video crews are usually a very good sign because it means that the lighting treatment will be cranked up for video. And that’s exactly what the case was here. The only challenge was making sure to maneuver carefully around the video crew in the photo pit. After three songs in the pit I found a clear spot on the balcony for some wide looks. It was a great overall shoot, the band sounded awesome and I’m really happy with how this set turned out.
