When an artist is in between records but needs to keep momentum going and creativity flowing, one way to do that is to release a teaser single. Here’s a sampling of the work we did for John Frank’s single, its a cover of Tracy Chapman’s Fast Car. In our production meetings leading up to the shoot we discussed in length do we want to use a car for the shoot, will it be too cliche, etc. Obviously in the end we opted for no car, open road, keep the focus on John.

Contingency plans are great to have for celeb shoots. You never know where a curveball may present itself so keeping a level head and quick thinking can thwart a disaster before it starts. Case in point, the call time for my shoot with Every Avenue was set for noon but the band didn’t make it to the designated location until 2pm. Not their fault, things just happen when you are driving 8+ hours to your destination. Keep in mind the band is on tour, stopping through, squeezing in a quick shoot before having to play again that same night. Our original idea was to do an epic beach shot but that was quickly scrapped because they needed to make it to House of Blues in time for a show. Contingency plan, use our secondary location to make what time we had work in our favor. We secured a beach volleyball court and banged out their summer fun promo photos.
