PROPOSAL

I AM CURRENTLY WORKING ON A NEW PORTFOLIO OF CONTEMPORARY MUSICIANS FROM ALL GENRES. THE PORTFOLIO WILL FEATURE ARTISTS SUCH AS THE BEASTIE BOYS, PATTI SMITH, CONOR OBERST, MATT BERNINGER, NATASHA KHAN AND I WOULD LOVE TO INCLUDE A PLACE TO BURY STRANGERS. I WOULD PROPOSE TO SHOOT 2 PORTRAIT SET UPS OF THE BAND, ONE AGAINST A SIMPLE WHITE OR BLACK BACKDROP AND ANOTHER PORTRAIT THAT WOULD IDEALLY BE TAKEN IN THE BACKSTAGE ENVIRONMENT DURING A SHOW SET UP. ALL OF THIS WOULD BE DONE AT A TIME THAT WOULD WORK IN WITH THE BAND'S SCHEDULE AND WOULD TAKE AROUND 30 MINS.
