  Like father like son?
  Great expression, pity bout the mic covering his face. The image is a bit monotone(flat?) for my liking too, I mean that he could be lifted from the background a bit more with a shallower depth of field, or a more focused flash beam. Maybe its something that could be done in PS.
  As a musician I would be happy to have a shot like this presented to me (if I was a musician)

  Hi Sean,
  I greatly appreciate you stopping by & taking the time to reply.

  Your comments are well made.

  I have taken some photographs of gigs before (mostly film up ’til now)
  & normally use available light. The subjects have normally been fairly famous people
  so the pics were valuable to me as a record of the event.
  I must admit I never really thought about the technicalities
  of the process. I was at a concert & took a few shots.

  This was one of Jonathans first gigs (a singer/songwriter club in Wexford).
  He asked me along accompany him on one of his songs.
  There was no stage lighting or backdrop of any sort.
  When he started up I snapped a few shots for the record.
  It was so dark I had to use flash.

  Not great but a record of a nice moment in our lives.

  BTW: We have ambitions to do some better stuff & I’ll make
  sure to be more attentive to the technicalities.

  We’ll see what happens.

  Thanks again.

  John.

  Just for the record heres one of my efforts from many years ago.
