pj rock camp 2009 - photoshoot
In a dance studio basement in the Keweenaw Peninsula, there has been a steady stream of musicians, dancers, instructors, and equipment moving in and out of the doors. Through the walls there are sounds of guitars, drums, harmonized vocals, and the occasional yell when a circuit breaker blows from the load of amps, stage lights, and the industrial smoke machine. What's going on here? It is PJ Olsson's Rock Camp 2009. Check out the running blog for the whole story, but in short - its a very cool, hands-on session with some stellar instructors, headed by rock star PJ Olsson. A live performance is planned for this year's Spring Art & Music Festival in downtown Houghton on June Saturday June 13th.Brockit's involvement comes in the form of a full blow, rock-star photoshoot. Interns Emily and Rebecca helped load in all the gear and worked quickly with Todd & Jessie Brassard of Brassard Media - both who seem to be involved in every aspect of the camp - to setup the scenes and get the shoot rolling. Having returned just the night before from a large weekend shoot in West Virginia, I needed all the help I could get. We shot performance style with a live performance complete with lights and smoke, then moved to the studio setup for the group shots. Each performer, dancer, singer, etc. gave two quick poses - inspired by TopModel, MTV, RollingStone, or the variety of examples that Jessie brought with her. Got some great shots out of this for sure. Nice job everyone!Some sneaks below, and the full sets will be available by the weekend.--- UPDATED ---Full galleries are up.
