A look behind the scenes of our Music Video Shoot in NYC for Republic Records recording artist Viv and The Revival. Three locations in one day but we did it! Special Thanks to my DP John Engstrom and his fantastic crew at The Flug

Shooting Bobby McFerrin turned out to be quite an adventure. We were given one hour of time at first, to create a full set of conceptual images for his album cover art, and another set for press and promotional images. He had done a lengthy video interview right before the shoot, and in the end, he gave us thirty minutes before letting us know that he was “done now”. I love my job 🙂
Beautiful Autumn was a tender 14 years of age when we took these images. It was her first day modelling, and she’s a pro now. So proud of her!

It was an honor and pleasure to photograph this band lead by Miles Davis’ nephew Vince Wilburn Jr and consisting of Miles Davis alumni. There was no other time to do the group shot than after the band’s rehearsal the night before their performance at the Hollywood bowl. We set up a background at the Los Angeles rehearsal studio, and ended up shooting this within a matter of 30 minutes after the band’s rehearsal. Everyone was tired and wanted to chat and eat rather than having their picture taken 🙂 But they pulled it together. Preparation was everything here.
