Mainly covering rock music, I do sometimes find it odd taking photographs of pop bands, but when offered the chance to photograph JLS, Olly Murs and Alexis Jordan at Carrow Road, Norwich City Football Ground, I decided to go along.
First up was Alexis Jordan, who only performed four songs, mainly featuring her and a few backing dancers jumping around the stage. She was followed by Olly Murs, who stole the whole night for me, a great performance with a proper backing band. It was more like the kind of performances I’m used to shooting.
Then the main event, JLS. The four guys performed to a backing track, and had a large group of backing dancers with them. They came out at the end of the catwalk, allowing for some shots with the sky as a background, and then went back to the stage, with a massive screen behind them. It was still early enough to have some natural light on them, as well as the stage lighting, which helped with shutter speed etc.
