Q-Dot cover

I have been shooting for papers and other companies for quite some time and finally

though it was time to blog it lol

So this shoot was for the cover of the Weekly Volcano. Sadly during this shoot i was coming down with quite a cold so my "artistic edge" was pretty freaking dull lol I showed up at the steps of UWT about 45 mins early to get a feel for the lighting and where we would go, i had nooo idea what to do.

OH and in case your wondering i was shooting a rapper/hip hop artist Qdot and his art director for the upcoming show "grit fest" (?).

Anyways when they showed up things got better, i put down the camera and starting talking to them and thats really when i noticed that they became much more comfortable with me .

We started at UWT i took some pretty standard shots to get in the feel for things then we moved our way up to the swiss where we played pool talking,laughed and getting some great shots! Q has quite the personality and hes not to good at pool lol Yes he lost hahah.On our way out i noticed a seat with some wood paneling behind it and though it would be a cool texture for a B&W plus the window lighting was pretty sweet.

They said Urban Exhange's Den is pretty cool so we headed down the street and to the den.

There was much for lighting but i liked the colors and the funky old decorations and though it would work.

I really enjoy working with papers!

Heres the final, they used the B&W shot on the inside

Hopefully i will be adding more stuff soon!

p.s (sorry im not much of a writer haha :) )
