Studio Session!

Girl Talk

To get these shots I used my new press pass that Kelly printed up for us. It was my first time to use it and since the show was sold out I was a little nervous that it wouldn't work. I got to shoot for the first three songs without a flash. The hard part though was that there is a continuous party going on while your up there shooting and i'm totally fine with that. I honestly don't mind being bumped into while i'm shoot...it's what I signed up for. But, his manager said if I stand in a spot too long then there is a big gap around me so in order to keep the "party" going..I need to keep moving. That was the most challenging part and I really liked the challenge!

The Church Sessions

My friend, Johnathan, sent me a message and asked me if I wanted to document Broncho's recording sessions at The Church Studio. It was a really cool experience for me because i've heard all about the Church from my father and it was my first time actually in the Studio. When shooting for Broncho I took a really journalistic approach. Capturing all of the downtime and coffee making to the serious talks and of course the recording process. I had a blast and managed to get another gig out of the deal. Here's to the future and good music. Cheers!

PS

I shot black and white with a little added grain to get the feel of a 70's punk band because to me thats what Broncho brings to the table. A modern day band that sounds like they are not from this decade. Listen to their tracks at www.myspace.com/bronchoband

Lil' D in Okmulgee

This is a photo shoot I did with Dallas. She's a model from McAlister that came up to OSU for our version of Model Mayhem. We had 5 different models that came to campus in the morning and stayed until 4 p.m. My friend Steven and I decided to break away from the studio and to go on location for some shots. This was my first time to actually shoot a model and I had a lot of fun doing it.

Lizard Police

I'm in a band called Lizard Police and we were in studio recording our first record. Our guitarist Austin was in the other room listening to the tracks as Hank was mixing down my bass tracks. There is a slight HDR on this image.

This is my friend Chris Skillern. He plays bass for Scales of Motion and they have been nominated for the Absolute Best Indie Rock Band in Tulsa. www.myspace.com/scalesofmotion

Panthers and Bronchos

I wanted to get a good close-up shot of Jhohn from La Panther Happens. The disco ball above his head was a good spot for me to bounce my flash off of. La Panther Happens is easily one of my favorite bands in Tulsa.

Ryan Lindsay normally a laid back songwriter turns up the intensity while in his punk band Broncho.

I caught both Ryan and Johnathan right before they started to sing. The expressions on both of their faces really make this photograph.

The Soundpony crowd puts on their dancing shoes for Broncho. It was a blast to shoot two of my favorite bands in Tulsa. I have fun recording the moments that are happening in the Tulsa music scene. I think big things are on the horizon for our city.

2 + 2 on the Moon

A really solid instrumental band from right here in Tulsa, Oklahoma. They have an intensity about them that could rival most hardcore bands. I love the passion they put into their music. Solid guys and we'll occasionally be seen together at the gym...getting whipped into shape by PJ!
