We Came As Romans, Mayday Parade, Warped Tour, Suicide Silence, Peter Says Denim

A few weeks ago, www.petersaysdenim.com clothing line got in contact with me to do some portrait work with Sky Eats Airplane. I did some shots with my good friend Elliot Coleman (Guitarist/Vox) of SEA.

You can see the photos up at www.petersaysdenim.com , and there is also a column about my work on the home page!

Did a quick shoot with We Came As Romans for Equal Vision Records (www.myspace.com/wecameasromans) There was 15 office chairs near a loading dock with a huge boarded sign saying "free". What's better than using all those chairs in a shot!

A few days after that, I went down to Warped Tour in Hartford, CT. Atlantic Records hired me to do some stuff with Mayday Parade (www.maydayparade.com) and I also did some stuff for Suicide Silence (www.myspace.com/suicidesilence)

Also did some live stuff of Call The Cops (www.myspace.com/callthecops), Whitechapel (www.myspace.com/whitechapel), We Are The In Crowd (www.myspace.com/wearetheincrowd), Suicide Silence (www.myspace.com/suicidesilence), The All American Rejects (www.allamericanrejects.com), and Four Year Strong (www.myspace.com/fouryearstrong).

Never Shout Never, Skyeatairplane, The Cab, Every Avenue, Our Last Night, Sleeping with Sirens, etc..

Well, it's been a while guys! Again, catching up on photoshoots, they hitting me like a ton of bricks! Had a shoot with Sky Eats Airplane for their Management and Equal Vision Records. (www.myspace.com/skyeatsairplane) or www.skyeatsairplane.com . Really awesome dude's, I actually even did some video on it so hope to have that up in a few weeks! The funny thing was, I bought an entire portable studio to shoot for them, and I brought it all the way to Webster. I was given permission to use the Webster Main Stage to do the shoot, since they were playing in the underground.

 

While shooting, Sleeping with Sirens saw us doing some portraits, so they wanted to do some shots too. (www.myspace.com/sleepingwithsirens)

 Not to mention, I will be doing shots with Skyeatsairplane in July! So be sure to keep an lookout for that!     A few days later I was hired to shoot The AP Tour with Every Avenue (www.myspace.com/everyavenue), Never Shout Never (www.nevershoutnever.com), The Cab (www.myspace.com/thecab), Cartel(www.myspace.com/cartel), and We the Kings (www.myspace.com/wethekings)               

We did some shots of The Cab at Yale University down the street.

    Hodge (The TM of The Cab) and videographer for The Cab and AP did a shot outside Yale's Library.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              H                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            

 

After shooting The Cab, Every Avenue (www.myspace.com/everyavenue) wanted to grab some shots of them in the dressing room before their show!

            

Christopher Drew (www.myspace.com/nevershoutnever) or www.nevershoutnever.com wanted to do some portraits that night.

                                                                             The next day, I did my good friend Angel's band for her new layout.. They were known as Self Made Soul, but changed the name to Brighter Than 1000 Suns. We did some shots at Fairfield Hills in Newtown, CT. The abanoned mental asylum, and later in the day we took a ride to Fairfield Beach. You can check them out tw wwfomyspace.com/selfmadesoul but their new myspace should be up soon!     

 I did a shoot at Our Last Night's NEW ALBUM "We Will All Evolve" Release Show w/ We Came As Romans, I See Stars, and VersaEmerge at the end of the week.

We had about 5 mintues to do this shoot, since there were black clouds above us and it was going to downpour any second Trevor's friend!

The Morning Of, Vacation, Envy on the Coast, TonyDanza TapDance Extra., and The Fall of Troy

I have to catch up on the photoshoots I have done, been backtracked for a few weeks. A few weeks ago, my new friends The Morning Of (www.myspace.com/themorningof) came down to Connecticut to play in the town next to me, so they wanted to do promotionals. It was a great day to do them, I must say! And I found one of the best spots close by too!

They are definately great guys to work with, and I will be shooting them for their Album Release Show on May 7th in Poughkeepsie, NY. Make sure you pick up a copy of their new album, The Way I Fell In. Great stuff.

 

 

A few days later, I went down to Orlando, FL with my family and my little cousin which we visited Disney for a week.

 

The day after I got back, I had a visit from Tony Danza Tap Dance Extravaganza (www.myspace.com/tonydanzatapdanceextravaganzaband I had shot before, The Red Chord, the lead singer was part of their management and he wanted me to grab a few shots of them while they were over here. We did them in my portable studio, I had bought for Sky Eats Airplane promotionals (new blog will be posted on that later on)

 

Later that afternoon, I went to New Haven to shoot The Marked Men Tour which was Envy on the Coast (www.myspace.com/envyonthecoast) and The Fall of Troy (www.myspace.com/thefalloftroy), which it was their "goodbye" tour and it was the last day of the tour, which was the last show they'll ever play together. I also shot Envy for promos, but was told I can not use them until I get confirmation.

Finally got a day to catch up on the busy couple weeks I had on doing photoshoots. 2 Weeks ago, I spent the weekend with Within the Ruins (www.myspace.com/withintheruins). The guy's crashed on my house on Friday night and we all got to hang out on Saturday.

Last weekend, I shot Forsaken the Sky for their new layout on Friday night. They have a new singer, Lou, ex vocalist of Conducting From The Grave. (www.myspace.com/forsakenthesky)

Then last weekend on Saturday, Abstract by Design came up to do some shots for their layout also. (www.myspace.com/atlaska666)

Guy's wanted just a field with tree's and grass, so I hooked them up with the only spot locally I knew of.
