Back in April 2015 I went to shoot No Consequence at The Star Inn, Guildford. I went as a kind of favour to Dan Reid, the guitarist and my good friend; also I really wanted to see some tracks off the latest album live.

Now this band is a force not to be reckoned with. Powerful sound, lyrically and instrumentally. And their latest album 'Vimana' is a masterpiece within itself. I recommend you to go grab a copy and check out their music video for 'Speechless'.

One factor which was the biggest help in this shoot was the band have their own lighting rig synced to there backing track, for a venue which lacks a lot of light, it gave such a fitting atmosphere to the music. With knowing the bands tracks, the builds was a little prompt to guess the blinders were going to backlight the band. My personal favourite is the one seen left of Harry Edwards, Guitarist.

Trying to move around from one side of the stage is always difficult with heavier gigs, this gig especially I remember being nearly wiped out by a mosher, all in a days work I guess haha.

Due to limited space, as the crowd was packed I mostly used my Tokina 11-16mm f2.8. But that’s all I needed really. Ultra wide-angle shots allowed me to get up close as they performed. Allowing me to keep them in frame as they moved about the stage.

I’d recommend next time you see No Consequence gig near you, snatch the hand of the ticket seller, these guys do not disappoint.

I posted some live raw footage up on my YouTube channel, so apologies for sound and shakey hands/ being nudged at times.

As always hope you enjoyed the read.
