The Faces of Music is Still in the Works

As you have seen on older posts here, I am working on a portrait series called, THE FACES OF MUSIC. I am making a collection of portraits of people who are a part of the music industry. Over the weekend, I was able to add Jon Berry, bassist of RunnerRunner, and John Joseph, author and singer of the Cro-Mags, to my ever growing collection! I am posting the rest of the shots from these sessions, as well as, all the shots from Series 01 on my Flickr page. So go check them out!

A Little Spread in Alternative Press Magazine

Some of you have already seen this, but I recently had a photo run as a 2-page spread in Alternative Press Magazine! Pretty excited about it. Hopefully this is just one of several to come. Stay tuned.

A Flickr and a Twitter

Well, first off, I now have a Flickr and a Twitter account. So you can follow me on all my wild adventures on Twitter and then checkout all the incriminating photos on Flickr. It's a win-win situation. You can now live vicariously through me!

Hello from 30,000ft above the US!

I just had to post a blog as I am flying to Chicago. I am visiting my friends in Flatfoot 56 and shooting their sister's wedding on Saturday. I am hoping to catch a Cubs game tomorrow, though it will be tough to convince my White Sox fan friend to take me. Definitely going to have to eat as much pizza as possible. I think I might be seeing the Slackers on Saturday after the wedding as well.

This week has been insane. I shot promos of my boys in Scarlet Grey. Shot Silversun Pickups for OC Weekly. Went to see Jenny Lewis play. Saw my friend's band, Deep Sea Diver play for the 1st time (amazing!). And that is what I did after work!

For work I did some special shots that are going to be used for something special, as well as 2 different lifestyle shots for some cool collections on Shockhound.com.

Crazy long week, but a good one!

Twitter!

I joined the twitter world. Come follow along as I capture the world of music one shutter click at a time.

Long, Long, LONG overdue postings: Part 4- The Faces of Music

I am still working on my project called, The Faces of Music. After shooting 73 people using the same lighting setup for each one, I decided to call that batch, Series 01. I am now starting Series 02, which will allow me a lot more freedom to be creative and cater to each individual to capture their personality in their own unique way. It will also be easier to do on the spot portraits than it was doing Series 01. Here are the 1st four shots of Series 02. Please let me know if you are interested in being a part of this project and we will set something up.
