Capturing the punk with Capture One Live x UAL

  • Nici Eberl

Last May I had the honour to be commissioned by Capture One and UAL to develop a marketing campaign for their new Capture One Live for iPad feature. My pitch was to show how the software can be used to enhance the workflow of music photographers and their collaboration with bands and music industry folks by allowing to share images in live time. Chosen by the team of Capture One, myself and two fellow students (Pooja Dua as BTS photographer, Rudresh Arora as videographer) went off on a journey to capture how I implement this new feature in my workflow whilst working with punk band Alien Chicks on their sold out headline London show. In the words of Capture One: 'Explosive energy, loud shouts, authentic voices, and forces of nature converge in the untamed world of live music events. When tasked with capturing the essence of the punk band Alien Chicks, photography students Nici Eberl, Pooja Dua, and Rudresh Arora from London College of Communications (LCC London) embarked on an exciting project that froze the intensity of punk in time. Their exploration of Capture One Live on mobile revealed new dimensions to their craft, pushing boundaries and unlocking the true essence of live music photography. Entering the final semester of their MA in Commercial Photography at LCC London, the three students were faced with an exhilarating challenge: develop a concept for an on-location shoot and experiment with the capabilities of Live on mobile. Their goal was to showcase how this innovative tool could be seamlessly integrated into their photography practice. Nici enthusiastically shares, “We were told to show how Capture One Live could be used in our photography practice. So, I thought, in the world of live music, the promoters, bands, PR folks, and magazines would love getting those on-stage photos while the band is still playing.”' More can be read here: https://www.captureone.com/blog/capturing-the-punk-with-capture_one-for-mobile
