Nashville Fashion Shoot

Taking a break from my music work, I recently did a spec shoot, working with color and some hair / makeup tests. 

For anyone interested in the lighting, most of it was a beauty dish on a boom, high and only slightly off camera axis. The effects mostly came from gels. Some shots had side-lights, others with a light directly behind the model.

Model: Jessica Bounedara
Hair/MUA: Amanda Dang
Second / Assistant: Suzi Daggs

Nashville Band Photographer + Margot & The Nuclear So and So's

I've been listening to Margot & the Nuclear So & So's for around nine years. This is about the sixth time I've seen them live. These are from right before they had to cancel the rest of their tour because of health problems. 

I also got to do an interview with Ronnie and Tyler before the show, which you can see here: http://newyorkminutemag.com/nymm-margot-nuclear-sos/

Super nice guys, and although it wasn't my best article (at first, anyway), I was still proud to have done the interview.

Nashville Band Photographer + Phantogram


Thanks to the lovely people at Tiny Human PR, I had the opportunity to shoot Phantogram at their recent show in Nashville. I did a write-up of their new album, Voices, for New York Minute Magazine as well. A good time was had by all.

Musicians Corner - Spring 2014

I have been super busy. Just had a baby (a little girl, yay for me!), and I have been working my butt off on some really exciting projects for New York Minute Magazine.

However, That Very Next Thing (that's me) has still been honored to act as the official photo sponsor for Musicians Corner in Nashville. The event has grown like crazy, and this year's artist lineup was one of the best ever.

You can see full albums of the good times on their Facebook page here.

Below are some of my favorite moments from the Spring 2014 season. Enjoy!

Part of what's fun about this is that I have interviewed several of these folks for New York Minute Magazine as well. You can find a few of them here:

Interview with Jars of Clay
Interview with Jillian Edwards

They're worth checking out. Not because I wrote part of it, but mostly because they have such interesting things to say. Seriously, you can skip my part altogether.

Mike Mains & The Branches

A few weeks ago, I got to catch up with Mike Mains & The Branches while they were in Nashville. I did an interview with them a while back for New York Minute Magazine, which you can see here. They have a great live show. They have a lot of energy and fans of their albums will not be disappointed.
