Behold, FM Studios first promo photo!
I am very proud of this set of photos because it represents a small step forward for me as a photographer since this was my first real freelance shoot. I put out an ad on craigslist looking to work with local bands and got a tremendous response and Josh gets special props for being #1 (and awesome in general).
I met him in Carrboro as the sun was setting and took photos as we talked and he played guitar for me, he wasn’t quite sure what his signature style was yet so we took a variety of photos that I think could be used to convey a wide range of emotions. Personally I think the above photo really suits him and his style well, to me it has the same hazy and dreamy quality his music does.
We shot for roughly an hour before his (and mine now) friends from the band Star.FM showed up, we finished our food and even though I wasn’t necessarily sure I would shoot Star.FM that night I ended up shooting both a practice and a show for them. They are all good people and a great band that played with enthusiasm and skill to a crowded and warm Cafe Beyond in Chapel Hill. Look for the photos from this show and the practice along with more details about the experience in a future post.
