I don't like admitting when I'm nervous.
Mainly because if I pretend to have it all together I can fool myself (and everyone else) into believing it...most of the time! But when I was prepping for this shoot, I realized I was pretty nervous about it. Excited, but nervous. I've never worked with a band before, and I wasn't sure how my "style" would translate into band pictures. I wondered if I should I change things up with darker images and textures even though that's not really what I do. In the end I decided to stick with my style. I've worked with these guys before, and they hired me knowing what my work looks like. I was still nervous though, so Anderson came with me to help set up shots and tell me if I was shooting crappy images. He's honest like that. :) It ended up being a really cool shoot. The guys are super-nice, easy to work with and have a strong sense of style. They brought reinforcements too-Ryan's wife, Marie, is a killer stylist and made sure the guys looked GOOD even when it started raining on us! I'd like to take her with me on every shoot.
The guys are working on an album-I'll have to keep you updated when they release it! For now, here's a little preview:
