Behind the Scenes at Yewande Austin's photo shoot

In my latest job I was hired by singer Yewande Austin to produce an EPK, Electronic press kit, for her soon to be released album. Yewande is a very talented and powerful singer. You can hear clips from her upcoming album on her website, http://www.yewande.com.

The first activity I shot for the EPK was her album and PR photo shoot which was located in Atlanta Georgia at the Derek Blanks studio. Derek is a very popular and industry respected photographer. He has done work for America's Top Model, Academy Award winners Jennifer Hudson, Monique and many other celebrities.

On the technical end I shot with my trusty Sony EX-1. Both t

he interior and exterior video of the behind the scenes action was all handheld. I'm happy to say there was a very creative atmosphere during the shoot as we all enjoyed listening to Yewande's new songs.

Yewande chose outfits that reflected her various singing styles and moods. Derek did a great job on the photos and I

got what I needed for the behind the scenes. It was a good days work! Next time though I might not wear a white shirt because Derek and I look like twins. LOL.

All the photos in this blog are all from one of the outside settings. I was to o busy shooting to get shots of me in the other setting. The day was great fun. Now off to the next event.
