New Project!

So, in my hiatus from the city, I have decided to give myself a weekly Photoshop technique to MASTER. I'm going to be revisiting old images and re-vamping them using the technique of the week. I'm going to make an effort to post the chosen technique every Sunday, then half way through the week, post up any major success or difficulties that I've come across, and at the end of the week, post some before and afters. This week: Switching Backgrounds.

I'll be changing background colors, swapping out backgrounds in general, etc.

If anyone even reads this, and has questions based on these tasks, feel free to comment, I'll answer. :)

(and here is a sneak at my first project! im still working on the final image, but this is the progress thus far)

American Standard

mark my words: this WILL be your favorite band. promise.

formerly Brandon Clark and the B-Sides, the guys needed a few shots to go along with their new snazzy name change, and they were sweet enough to let me join in on the fun. Here are a few of my favorite shots. Check them out HERE and you can check out the rest of the shots from this shoot on my facebook fan page HERE

U.S. Royalty @ Mercury Lounge NYC

U.S. Royalty, from Washington DC. Words can not describe how awesome these guys really are. I've seen then three times in 2 months, and I plan on catching them everytime they're near. Expect a lot from them here, and all over very soon. They're on the verge of something GREAT.

Andy Davis 4/30/09 and Portraits

I promised updates, and I'm going to keep them coming!! Next up I have the lovely and talented Andy Davis. My best friend (and fantassssstic musician) Brandon Clark turned me on to Andy a few years ago, and I've been rockin' to his piano filled love songs ever since. I was lucky enough to see him live and shoot some photos, and then have Andy and his bass player come by my office the next day and model some gloves my boss has designed. I cropped the gloves out of some of them just to make them look a little less like an advertisment. They were both nice guys, I'd love to shoot both of them again, maybe without the gloves haha.

enjoy!

Copeland, This Providence, Paper Route Brooklyn, NY 4/20/2009

So. This is LONG overdue. I've been shooting like crazy, and failing to update everyone on my progress. So this is the first of many blogs that I will post in the next few hours/days. First on the list: Copeland. It's no secret that I love this band, I have since I was 16. They keep getting better, and everytime I see them live, they knock me off their feet. Aaron Marsh has one of the most beautiful voices I've ever heard, and his band just brings it to the next level. I love that they still play songs off their first albums after all these years, hearing "Brightest" and "When Paula Sparks" still give me chills live. Here are just a few shots of Copeland and their opening band, This Providence.






And Copeland guitarist was cool enough to spent a little up-close-and-personal time with Brooke and I in South Paw's photo booth, here's a peek at some of the results:All Photos By E
