I have the mark iii and the EF 24-79, 50, and the 35...I figured using the 24-70 would be the most appropriate and versatile. Thank you for your help

Thank you, now that you say that I have been looking through my old 60's records, as I still enjoy film, I also still enjoy listening to my vinyls. Thank you for your help. Btw, I've been fortunate enough, in my view, to be able not to have to deal with the public to much.

Thank you, that's some of what they want as well as some area location shots. Your advice is appreciated.

They have some things in mind. I'm always partial to b&w. I know lighting will be challenging but nothing to problematic. We have rock jetties at the beach, early morning light. We also have the Everglades and sunset lighting. Some funky downtown buildings i like. They give me a quite a bit of discretion.

They are a Jazz/Jazz Rock type. Older guys, all professional...

Hello members, I've been a member here for quite some time but just have never posted before. I've been retired from professional work for about 20 yrs now. Being a old transparencie/film medium and large format guy, i still enjoy, now more as a hobby, my darkroom time. I never really dove into digital much, only for simplicity. I worked as a Architecture/Interiors/construction photographer for 30 years. Anyway, to my inquiry. I've been asked to do a photoshoot for an acquaintance's cover band. 7 band members. Having never done this type of photography before, i need some advice from you experts and would like to have suggestions on where I might find some photo examples, posing styles, types of locations, props to use, etc. of this kind of photography. Most of the shoot will be outdoors, as per their request, some at live performances in South Florida. I'll be using a Canon 5D with assorted lenses. No film. If you have any lens suggestions for this application, that would be appreciated as well. Thank you all
