Photos! Fallout Boy / Gym Class Heroes Afterparty @ S/T - Firestone (Orlando) 11.01.07

This was the official afterparty for the fallout boy concert at UCF. I think I saw just one Fallout Boy (none of the media darlings, though), but some Gym Class Heroes were partying in VIP, including hypeman/flagwaver Marc De Jesus.

BLACK KIDS feature article and interview

Our head writer, Melanie, who writes for the Orlando Weekly, got a chance to have a phone-in interview with Dawn Watley of the Black Kids, in anticipation of their upcoming Orlando performance. Unfortunately, they only had enough content space for the interview, which means weeeeeee get the feature story!

Winter Music Conference 2008 - Miami, FL 03.24.08 - 03.29.08

In 2008, little brother Orlando got tired of living his life in the shadow of Miami, especially when it came to Electronic Music. So, as retalation, Orlando, with the help of Pauly Crush and Mike Fineberg managed to snatch a couple of the Electronic Greats who were on their way down south for WMC.

The Result was Spring Training, Orlando own little Mini WMC.

Urb Magazine wrote a myspace blog asking for a photographer to take photos at two shows they were sponsering during Art Basel. I immediately wrote back and got the gig! My girlfriend Melanie and I had so much fun at both these shows, and here are our photos and reviews.

About Smile for Camera

Smile for Camera is your source for Music News, Exclusive articles and interviews with bands/djs, and Club/Party/Concert photos for the Southeast United States. We are based out of Orlando, FL, but we venture out to Miami, Tampa, and even Atlanta. Hopefully soon we'll travel even further to Chicago or New York!

Founded by photographer/graphic designer, Kevin Collier (k.coll) and writer, Melanie Gapany (m.gap) in 2008.

Formally known as www.kcolldesigns.com, but that sounded to stuffy and too corporate. KColl decided to make the change to have a more catchy name that actually sounded like a photography site!

Contributing photographers are Dani Del Pico (Dani D) and Dave Ortiz (D.O.).

Canon 5d
Canon 20d
Canon 17-40mm 4.0L
