The Pop Cop
Photographer: John Lewis, Glasgow
Subject: Sam McTrusty, Twin Atlantic
Location: ABC, Glasgow; October 6, 2008
John Lewis: "The image itself was a big slice of luck and fortunate timing to be honest. I have shot Twin Atlantic a few times before so I was familiar with how they perform and move on stage. I remembered that Sam jumps at a particular point in What Is Light? Where Is Laughter? I focused on him and it was just a matter of waiting to see if he would do it. I shot one frame and was lucky enough to capture it. The lighting had been awful, but for whatever reason there was a strobe of spotlights just at that point. Without that I wouldn't have caught it."
pretty sweet photo eh.
here's a Twin Atlantic live vid from the Mill in glasgow. The albums out in the spring chaps.
