Wow!  Zedd’s late June opening performance for Skrillex at Knitting Factory Concert House still remains quite memorable even after a couple endless weeks of summertime have since passed by.  While the bartenders looked a little bored, the youthful crowd was beyond energetic to say the least.  There were party people dancing with LED gloves, glowsticks and fuzzy knee-high boots, visors, sunglasses and raver candy galore … all getting down to a progressive, yet slightly commercial (yes, we did hear Lady Gaga) mix of electro house and dubstep.  Admittedly, it has been about ten years since I last attended a (il)legitimate rave party, and I can safely say that if this young DJ/producer/remixer couldn’t get you dancin’ … you need to invest in getting your mojo back!

Shooting this show was beyond challenging, but the crowd definitely made up for any lack of usable stage lighting; photographically at least.  While my trusty Nikon D7000 was fitted with the legendary Nikon 50mm f/1.8D lens, which makes up my usual standard for low-light shooting these days, it was a welcome challenge to compose shots using the white floods as a backdrop; which offered a more silhouette-based approach for close-ups and forced me out of my usual photographic ‘bubble’.  ISO’s ranged from 1000-1250 and shutter speed/aperture remained constant at 1/250th of a second and 1.8, respectively.  If you like what you see below, please check out the full gallery for even more and hit the like/tweet buttons to share with your friends … Zedd and I thank you in advance!
