Adopted 2010

Been a crazy past few weeks, no time to post, barely time to turn on the computer, and even less time to photograph.

This is one of the final selects from the shoot I did with Cheetah of The Adopted. I’ve worked with him before, along with guys from the band, here, and they were actually my first commercial client after moving to Ottawa a few years ago. I’d like to say I wowed them with my portfolio, but really it was a matter of desperation – they need a photo, I had a camera, mutual friend.

It wasn’t knowing the same person that keeps us working together though. I think I try and expand my creative vision for each shoot, while making the band more comfortable with me as a photographer each time. It’s not something you get to do all the time, work with the same client, but when you do it helps with a good chunk of time you’d usually take to get to know each other, to get comfortable with each other.

The relationship I’ve built over the years has helped them get better shots out of me, and in return, I get a great client that I get to work with again and again.
