RETRO REVIEWS

I was first exposed to Iron Maiden in Mr Miller’s middle school art class where he let students paint 7' x 7' album covers on the wall. If they were great, they would remain. Eddie was painted in his padded cell for 1983’s Piece of Mind for all three years I was there. In my head he still remains. I graduated high school in May of 1992. Iron Maiden had already released 8 albums, and established Bruce Dickinson as their lead singer for 10 years by the time Fear of the Dark was released that same month.

Photographing artists with large hats is always a challenge as most of the time, they cast their face in dark shadows. For Orville’s show, the light was pretty manageable, so the biggest challenge was to pick my spots and wait for moments where his face was in view. After a while of doing this, you get pretty good at anticipating lighting changes and body movements based upon the dynamics of the music and use that to give the best chance to be in the right place at the right time with the right settings.
