A few weeks ago (right before leaving for Photoshop World and vacation) I photographed the Los Tigres Del Norte concert at the Valley View Casino Center.

Los Tigres Del Norte  / 2014

 

The night did not start off well. The lighting for the opening acts was low, flat and boring and I did not have high hopes for the shoot. I don’t think I have ever been more wrong. At some point a very talented lighting director took over, turned on the lights and blew me away with some of the most enjoyable lighting I have shot in a while.

Los Tigres del Norte (The Tigers of the North) is an ensemble based out of San Jose, California, with origins in Rosa Morada, a sindicatura in MocoritoSinaloaMexico. The band has won five Latin Grammy Awards and sold 32 million records. The are highly energetic and put on a great show.
