Yes, I realize I was shooting mostly Corey, though you are right: he did have the best light on him. I will see what else I have in the images not in this batch, perhaps there are some other shots I can show that include other performers.
Would miss them for the world! I think of myself as a person who enjoys almost every kind of music, but this is one of the bands that I watched growing since their first album. It becomes less about the person and more about how the person becomes an object in the overall composition at least it was for John Loengard. Hey Jason, thanks for your thoughts on the set. With faces marginalized in this way for Slipknot, I would certainly say that composition and timing were a huge element of photographing the band.
In a night of epic poses, it seemed like a pretty natural extension! Really excellent set of shots, you are right about the body language thing. Sure the masks are interesting, but more interesting to me is the different stances you captured the band members in. Very interesting work.
I was just thinking about the mask thing a little more, and what this shoot really reminded me of is photographing hip hop performers. While the music itself is vastly different, hip hop artists will often hold the mic in such a way that often obscures their face, making gesture critically important.
Slipknot really do put on a great show. Hey Daniel, thanks for the feedback. I agree, the band put on a great show that did not disappoint. Hey Daniel, I can certainly see the masks as a progression.
I was reading one interview with Clown in which he mentioned how they very rarely wash the masks, too. I think that certainly adds some authenticity! I hate to be so numerical in order, but my picks really are 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6.
But additionally, I love this one because of the fading colours in the back — just something about it makes me really enjoy the picture. Also, something about the lighting and pose in this one makes him look like a little gremlin or something plotting his attack on his next victim. Finally, though my ubertastic favorite pic for the entire set is number 13 — the colours are different, the action is stopped, the framing is much tighter… it was just instantly my favorite!
Thanks very much for the detailed comments and your picks. Though, I do always try to start strong. That was one thing I learned about presenting a portfolio. I think that was pretty early on in the set when this guy was thrashing his head around, the hair managed to part just for a split second.
My faves are 3, 5, and 6. But I think this is another stellar set. These guys brought the chainsaw bassheavy madness.
Hey Keith, thanks for the feedback and your selections, I see you and Chris have similar taste. Slipknot definitely brought the noise. I thought you were outstanding when I first saw your images, but I think you just keep getting better with every set.
Every time I see your shots, it encourages me to keep improving my craft. Hey Eric, thanks for the kind words. I appreciate the comment!
Hey Andy, thanks for the comment. I agree, they put on a great live show. Hope you get to photograph them soon. Music Photography See All. Focus on Photography, Not Camera Brands. Reviews See All.

Sister Sin Gothenburg. Shattered Sun Alice, TX. Code Orange Pittsburgh, PA. Slayer and King Diamond on the same stage - it does not get more devilish than this! With songs that mirror the turmoil and aberrations of our society - God's terrifying global genocide, the chaos of our broken political system, chemical warfare, the hideous minds of serial killers, and the way-too-close proximity of world horrors that technology has brought us, Slayer remains crushing and brutal, steadfastly refusing to cater to the Mainstream.
King Diamond King Diamond's Dreams of Horror double album was released in November of and is the only best-of compiled and approved by the band. It leaves a mark, thanks to songs like the angular, vengeful "DMF," a song birthed by the sort of anger that can't be faked; it will leave you wondering who pissed these guys off.
