Recording session @ Paramount Recording Studios

My incredibly talented piano playing, song writing, friend, Alan Chang, asked me to come photograph his recording session for what will (hopefully) become his solo album. I mean, the guy writes all these amazing songs for other people (like Buble's "Home" and "Everything") that it's great to see him performing his own amazing songs! And what's even greater is that I got to hang around and experience it!


Studio C in Paramount Recording Studios.





These are my amazingly adorable friends, Alan, Erik (you may remember him as my Man of Honor) & Matt
Wasn't it nice of them to dress alike?


They are also still cute in black and white! ;)


Alan playing piano.


Erik playing bass.


And Matt on drums.


Listening back.


Alan's piano playing is so dreamy. :)


I love this shot with Matt setting up in the background.


And this is Matt's setup.


Alan coaching Erik through a song. And by coaching I mean, yelling the notes at him!


I love this shot.

My first album photography...

Cleaning out my office desk today, I found an album that is really special to me... Jazz pianist, and friend, Josh Nelson's album "Let It Go" is the close to my heart because it is the first album ever published with my photos in it!



pictured from top: Seamus Blake, Anthony Wilson, Matt Wilson, Josh Nelson, Erik Kertes, Sara Gazarek and Darek "Oles" Oleszkiewicz

On a side note (pun intended), if you want to hear some amazing music from some of the best musicians the jazz world has to offer then seriously, do yourself a favor and get Josh's album.
