When you’re a musician, your headshot can be a little more creative (and the venues are slightly more entertaining than my studio). I had a good time shooting these artists:
Pictured: R&B singer-songwriter Mary J. Blige
Pictured: Andrew Vladeck, folk artist and member of rock band The Honey Brothers.
Pictured: Adrian Grenier, actor and percussionist/vocalist for rock band The Honey Brothers.
Pictured: Dave Wilson, lead singer & guitar for the band Miss Ohio, playing at Arlene’s Grocery in NYC last week.
Pictured: Mic Crenshaw, rapper & activist.
