The Hidden Darkness of Musicians.

Something not a lot of musicians bring to light: their mental state through the course of their career. Growing up with a lot of musician friends and seeing them go so early pushed me to create art that could demonstrate that internal struggle a lot of musicians face. Incorporating the shining guitar while using a hot flash light to symbolize the media, I wanted to actually take away from the posh and add darkness. The reality of the industry is so far beyond understanding from the public eye, and light needs to be shed on the actual reality.

Behind The Scenes:

At this moment in time, I was dying to shoot some studio work. I used a Canon Mark IV with a ring light that I held in my other hand while simultaneously taking photos with my other so I could direct the light in any way I wanted. At this time I know my strengths were in Lightroom, so I created what I could, and fixed it in post ;)
