The Best Friends Day Odyssey, Part Four of Four

Posted on August 23, 2011 | 1 Comment

Best Friends Day is a Hard Core music festival in Richmond, VA. As I learned last year, it attracts some pretty interesting people.

It is an all weekend event, with concerts going Thursday through Sunday. I went mostly to shoot portraits, but decided to document the experience as well.

The portraits you see in this post are a combination of images I shot Friday night (Shot outside the Canal Club), and images from Saturday at Hadad’s Lake.

I had some pretty bad luck, but also got some great photos. I really hope you enjoy them.

The Best Friends Day Odyssey, Part Three of Four

Posted on August 22, 2011 | Leave a comment

The forth and final day was very low key by hardcore music standards. So much so, that some kids were even able to participate.

A little rain didn’t slow anything down and the weekend finished up very nicely.

More kids and moshing after the jump…

The Best Friends Day Odyssey, Part Two of Four

Best Friends Day’s main event is held at Hadad’s Lake, a man-made pool of green water not too far from Richmond. I have to imagine that Hadad’s is generally family friendly. This was most certainly not the case this past Saturday.

Waaaayy more photos after the jump…

The Best Friends Day Odyssey, Part One of Four

This last Thursday kicked off an epic four days of hard core music, out of control partying, and a number of other hazardous activities. As I always try to do, I will let the photos do the talking.

A Yearbook Unlike Any Other

Posted on August 17, 2011 | 1 Comment

A few weeks ago I journeyed to New Orelans, home of my friend, rapper and producer, G-Eazy. The reason for my trip (other than drinking incredible coffee) was to shoot album art for G’s latest release “The Endless Summer.” You might remember the images I made for his album “The Outsider” from this post.

We wanted to do something different for his album, so I came up with the idea to make a sort of yearbook that featured girls representing songs on the album. I would tell you which songs go to which girl, but that would ruin the fun! Because the samples used in the production of the songs had a vintage feel, the yearbook took on a very similar vibe, mimicking yearbook photos and typography from the 50s. Be sure to check my cameo on page 7.

The design was done by the multi-talented G-Eazy (Gerald Gillum in the Credits).

Be sure to download the album and see the video single here. I lent some of my grip skills to the video, directed by Tyler Yee (@tyleryee), who is great at what he does.

Big thanks to G (@G_Eazy) Devon (@DevTheGirl) and Matt (@2Mattyb) for having me down!

Portraits and a Church Service

Posted on August 2, 2011 | Leave a comment

I am working on a documentary. One that I am not yet at liberty to talk about at length. What I will say is that I will working on the cinematic side of things, while also doing still photos. These are three portraits that I took during our most recent day of filming as well as a few images from a church service we filmed.

As things materialize with the documentary I will let you know. Sorry to be so mysterious!
