This is a Stereo Telescope, a Boston-based band that is so into photography that they did a shoot on the beach, in the snow, in the water, wearing short sleeves, on a really cold / rainy / snowy / windy winter day in December.

Here they are lying on the sand waiting for a wave to crash over them.  Did I mention it was like 30 degrees out with a wintry mix?

This next shot is from after they were crashed upon by a wave.

The original concept for the shoot involved sunset and fireworks, but since there was no sun we had to improvise.

This next shot looks like it was taken on another planet – I LOVE IT.  An empty beach covered in snow and the flare of fireworks – not what I originally imagined for the shoot, but awesome nonetheless.

Nikki and Kurt were amazing – it was cold, miserable, and yet they totally rocked the shoot.  The crazy conditions were totally worth it, and I think we got some good stuff for them to use as part of their promo materials!

Super Time Pilot is a Boston-based duo that will be releasing a CD this summer.  I met up with them last Friday to take some photographs for their CD cover, and to shoot some promo shots!

These are some of my favorites from the promo session.  I am not going to show you the cover just yet – you’ll have to wait until their CD comes out this summer!

We got really lucky with the weather.  It was supposed to rain, but instead there was just enough cloud cover to give us beautifully perfect soft light.

I really like this next set!

Here is a great candid moment!

This was a really fun shoot – I always enjoy working with other creative professionals to make photographs!  So if you know any bands, actors, comedians, musicians, singers or dancers who need headshots or promo material, send them my way!
