Sometimes it’s fun to do a last minute shoot! I hit up Kelley James via twitter the other week and photographed him tracking some songs in the studio, then did a quick shoot afterwards. I still haven’t had time to finish editing this shoot, but I attached a few photos to satisfy your curious eyes.

Oh, and don’t forget to get crunk!
Had a photo shoot the other week with the new Atlanta, Georgia group Woe, Is Me. They recently signed to Velocity/Rise records. Here are a few photos from the shoot, seven member bands are rough to photograph!

Got an email from Alternative Press back in February about doing a shoot with the Valdosta, GA group From First to Last. I accepted and proceeded to dive right into some of the craziest weeks of my life. The shoot went well, but I had multiple, large and well paying shoots all fall through at the same time that the engine in my Honda CR-V decided it wanted to completely stop working. I’m extremely grateful that the FFTL guys let me stay at their place for a while as my engine was slowly replaced by a local mechanic, there was no way I could afford a hotel.
Here are the tear sheets from the AP article, it’s actually my first feature article in three years of doing photo shoots for them. WHOA… has it really been three years? I’m getting old. Also, there was a last minute change that caused them to swap the two photos… the second photo was supposed to be the spread, I was pretty bummed over that change since I shot it all with a certain usage in mind.

I also did some setups for their new label, Rise Records. Here are a few select images from that (not all were used):

They seem to be blowing up, I figured it would happen. Just today for example, I went and checked out a video review from gamespot.com on the game Borderlands and a Cage the Elephant song was playing throughout the entire review.
I did a shoot with Cage the Elephant earlier this year, was part of a Sony/Red Summer Music Guide/Mini AP magazine. I had one of the four covers, we did the shoot (stressfully!) at Bamboozle east. Had twenty minutes with the band to pull off two looks, and while it ended up being more like 1 1/2 looks, it came out well.
Here is my favorite photo from the shoot, it’s also posted on my website under the “music” section. They’re coming through Atlanta November 21st.
