On my shoot with Railroad earth I also shot some individual portraits. Here is a slide show below that lets you see some of those. Also featured below is the very handsome Band leader from and alternate versions of some band shots that I still hold dear to my heart. Enjoy!

Old 33, final piece in hand!

I am very excited to share this latest project with you all! I was hired to do the photography for Megan Palmer’s new album Old 33. Megan is extremely passionate musician with tons of talent to back it up, and yay, the production work on the album just wrapped up! Art direction and design of the package was done by the very talented Bill Gaines. On 18th of September at the Rockwood Music Hall, Megan Palmer will have the official NYC CD Release of Old 33. If you're in town swing by I am certainly going to be there.

Railroad Earth

I just got commissioned by a label in New York to create album art for the band Railroad Earth. Railroad Earth has some sweet tunes & the musicians were a complete riot to work with. The production for this shoot came together last minute and was nothing short of complete camaraderie. All I can say is the Hasselblad H4d40, three assistants, a fog machine, a few lights and 10 people in the Delaware gave rise to this image. A shout out to Jonathan Chang my client in nyc and Brian Ross in LA for for being so hands on with everything.

Addicted

This is a Spanish singer called Bebe, I am sure she is old news to people who keep up on the spanish music radar but I just happened to come upon this song via Pandora and just cannot get enough of it! She has a beautiful raspy texture to her voice and also is so beautiful to look at. I am currently totally addicted. If you care to listen please plug in headphones or some decent speakers. The song deserves it.

Inspired by Kutiman

Kutiman, takes samples of video clips from youtube, layers them and turns them into pieces of genius. I am currently addicted to this one. The syncopation of audio to video is great as well.  Everyone's sample gets a plug! If you stick through the end of this song, he uses a sample from a Chopin piece and layers it with this woman's haunting voice. It's a very rewarding experience. Kudos to Kutiman.
