Capturing Artist Essence in Challenging Lighting
Problem
Our team was tasked with photographing Joel Culpepper for his press kit and capturing a concert of RY X in St. Paul's Cathedral. We immediately identified two major challenges: the lighting conditions in the cathedral and the need to capture high-quality images that would accurately represent the artists.
We knew that we needed to find a way to overcome these challenges while still delivering exceptional results for our clients. After careful consideration, we developed a solution that allowed us to capture stunning images despite the difficult lighting conditions.

Solution
To address the lighting challenges at St. Paul's Cathedral, we decided to use a combination of natural light and carefully placed artificial lights. This allowed us to create a warm and inviting atmosphere while still ensuring that we had enough light to capture high-quality images.
We also worked closely with both Joel Culpepper and RY X to understand their unique styles and preferences when it came to photography. By doing so, we were able to tailor our approach to each artist, resulting in images that truly captured their essence.

Impact
X% increase in social media engagement for Joel Culpepper after releasing the press kit photos
X% increase in ticket sales for RY X's next concert after sharing our photos on social media
"This project exceeded all of our expectations. The photos perfectly captured the essence of both artists and helped us to connect with their audiences in a more meaningful way."
