Just love it when cool shoots come out of the blue!

I got an email a couple of days ago from Marla Winston asking for some web sized images from a shoot we did in late August. Marla is the publicity director for a country band called Emerson Drive. The assignment was to photograph the tattoos the guys in the band had just done to commemorate their #1 hit country single called, "Moments". The boys had their tats done on the TV show, LA INK and the show's producers needed close-up photographs of their tattoos done for the show, which was airing the following week. So they needed pictures asap, as in now!

Thanks to the concierge at the Sutton Place Hotel in Vancouver, Marla, called me from her office in Beverly Hills. She had heard I was a good artistic photographer who could get the job done. Thanks, Sutton Place!

I set up my lights and the guys came in one at a time and we had a lot of fun making the pictures. Then we emailed our picks to New York (production for the show is in NY) from my computer right there at the shoot. I had never done things that way before so it was a thrill and a challenge at the same time!

Marla and the guys invited my assistant Janine and me to their gig that night at the PNE, which we totally enjoyed. The bands played their hearts out... such great energy and the fans went wild! We hung out with them for a while backstage and got to know them a little bit more.

Congratulations to the guys in the band and all the people who have worked so hard to help you achieve your success. Keep it up!
