Sonder Bay

Two hundred capacity, a ceiling you could touch and one par can doing the work of a rig. Small rooms are where the pictures are, and where nobody else turns up.

There is no pit at The Lantern, so you shoot from inside the crowd and take what the room gives you. That night it gave a single warm par can from stage left and a lot of red spill off the bar sign, which is far more interesting than a proper rig.

The band bought the set outright for their first record's press campaign. Twenty-nine frames, mostly wide, mostly close enough that the front row is in shot.
