Meetwood Flack

Recently, I sent out a few dozen (probably few hundred) marketing emails to entice some local bands in my area to hire me for portraits and live shots. I got a few replies, which would probably count to more than a 1% response (that's a pretty great ratio, for those who never studied business). One of the first bands to contact me back was a local Fleetwood Mac tribute band, Meetwood Flack.



As it turns out they needed someone for a show coming up that weekend. We went over the details quickly and I got the job. The basic idea of the assignment was to shoot their hour and a half set and to take some photos of the band as a group as well as individual portraits.

Everyone in the band was great and we had a fun time taking the posed shots. The backstage area was very tight and crammed with gear and other things, so we opted to take them outside, around the back of the venue. There was a great green brick wall there, so I set everything up, took some test shots with my assistant and the band came over and we knocked out a bunch of group shots and portraits in less than 20 minutes.



Inside they played a great set that included some of my favorite Fleetwood Mac songs, here is an exact copy of the setlist:

THE CHAIN
DREAMS
SAY YOU LOVE ME
SECOND HAND NEWS
RHIANNON
OVER MY HEAD
BIG LOVE
WORLD TURNING
GOLD DUST WOMAN
LITTLE LIES
SILVER SPRINGS
OH WELL
LANDSLIDE
MONDAY MORNING
GYPSY
YOU MAKE LOVING FUN
EDGE OF SEVENTEEN
GO YOUR OWN WAY

I was also able to take some video of the band's performance. I decided to post the video for "Go Your Own Way" on YouTube

There are more portraits in the Portraits Gallery on my site, as well as live photos from the entire set in the Live Gallery.

Be sure to check out the full galleries, video, and the band's page. Check their upcoming dates for when they'll be playing near you.

More soon.
