I recently photographed local Raleigh band, The Birds of Avalon at the NC Museum of Natural History for the cover of Performer Magazine. The museum was a pretty cool place to shoot with lots of unusual backgrounds. The trick was to keep the images from appearing like a photo of a band on a field trip. A few of the locations within the museum were a challenge to light, particularly the of prehistoric aquarium display, as it was essentially a narrow plexiglass tube that curved around a bend. This limited the placement of lighting and shooting position, as well as the challenge to avoid creating reflections of the lighting rig and/or photographer in the plexiglass.
Here are a few of my favorites.
