Behind the Lens: Lighting It Up with The Anyones

When local band The Anyones came to us for a content refresh, we knew it wasn’t going to be your average band shoot. They wanted something bold, dynamic, and packed with personality—just like their music.

The brief was clear: new images for their website, social media, and press, plus live-style videos that captured the raw energy of their performance. But more than that, they wanted content that stood out—something with attitude.

Setting the Tone: After Dark & Loud

To give the shoot a distinct edge, we took the photos at night. The backdrop? Norwich shadows, streetlights, and moody textures. The result? Bold visuals that feel cinematic, gritty, and totally unique. No studio backdrops here—just atmosphere and a few strategically placed lights to let the band shine through.

The goal wasn’t just to make them look good. It was to capture the confidence, the chemistry, and the sound they bring to every stage.

Lights, Camera, Live Energy

For the video content, we wanted to channel that live, unfiltered energy you’d get from a classic Top of the Pops performance. No over-polished music video vibes here—just the band doing what they do best: playing live with passion and personality.

We kept the setup simple and local, letting the performance drive the visuals. With bold lighting, tight framing, and a bit of movement to keep things dynamic, each track feels immediate and alive—like you’re right there in the room with them.

Content That Amplifies

For bands like The Anyones, having sharp, cohesive content is about more than looking professional—it’s about:

  • Getting booked (promoters want to see what they’re getting)

  • Connecting with fans (especially online)

  • Telling your story visually (because first impressions happen before the first note is played)

We loved collaborating on this project and bringing their vision to life. Their sound deserves attention—and now their visuals do too.
