30 Seconds of Beyonce…

Knowles

Here is the shot that I got at the Beyonce Knowles concert tonight. Now you might say “hey, I’ve seen that photo before”. And the truth is you have, in every city at every show she’s played. Every photographer was given the first 30 seconds of the first song of the concert. So if it was Tampa or Tokyo Japan every newspaper had the SAME EXACT shot….. Nuf said!!

Oh my God they killed Kenny…

Here is a show that I’ve been waiting a long, long time for, The Police! I’ve shot Sting at least 5 times but never the Police. Yet another of my top 10 best concerts. There I was shooting Stewart Copeland on drums, Andy Summers on guitar and Sting on Bass when it hit me, Oh my God it’s the POLICE! You just can’t miss that Copeland drum beat, it’s unmistakable. Then I busted out laughing, for some reason I would have never guessed Andy Summers as a South Park fan. Check out his guitar strap….

You can lead a horse to water…..

GIRLToday I did a shoot for Flair Magazine with my favorite Art Director Shelly Archbold, AKA “Tinker Bell”. Shelly is wonderful to work with and so much fun, it’s hard to call it work. We shot on location up in Brooksville at a horse ranch. Everything was great, we had killer wardrobe, a great crew and a nice location. One problem, no one asked the model about her phobia of horses! No worries, we just fed our model Willow some horse tranquilizers we found lying around and made it through the shoot. I think from now on that should be on every model’s comp card. Hi, I’m Buffy, 5′-9″, 36-24-36 and I have a fear of spiders!! Click on the thumbnail to see the rest of the shoot.
