Lil' Wayne Plays Hammersmith Apollo

I'd not knowingly heard the music of Grammy Award-winning rapper Lil' Wayne before this gig, but knew of his fame in the US, so thought it'd be a good one to cover.
Poor lighting aside, it didn't disappoint. Although really not my type of sound Lil' Wayne was hyper on stage and the fact he'd come out 30 minutes late added to the edge he and the charged-up crowd gave the night.
My best shot of the night was this first one below of him jumping. Had the light been less saturated and red I think it could have produced a crisper shot, but given the conditions I was very pleased with the frame.

Seasick Steve Plays The Hammersmith Apollo

A great gig to photograph - nice lighting, interesting character, imaginative backdrop & props plus good blues music. I was really pleased with the set of photos I got, a combination between close ups capturing his expressive face and wider shots showing his stage set. Seasick Steve is also excellent with the crowd using a lot of interaction, which I always appreciate.
