Capturing Corinna Rose
I recently had the pleasure of working on a brief performance shoot with talented songstress Corinna Rose as part of a project for the Believer Magazine.
One of the conditions of the shoot was that my mics remain out of sight, at least from the two camera folk’s perspective.
I used an extremely simple setup: just a single Apex 435, a few feet back from the performer.
As you can see in the photo, I pointed the mic directly at her, aiming for a nice mix of voice and guitar. A good performer can easily balance their voice and instrument in a space like this, and Corinna Rose certainly fits the bill.
It was a pretty small, boxy room, so I knew I’d need to be busting out some serious EQ in the midrange, but other then that, it sounded great!
All I had to do was stay out of the way!
