PROPOSAL

I AM CURRENTLY WORKING ON A NEW PORTFOLIO OF GAME CHANGING AMERICAN MUSICIANS FROM ALL GENRES. THE PORTFOLIO WILL FEATURE ARTISTS SUCH AS BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN, PATTI SMITH, THE BEASTIE BOYS, NILE RODGERS AND IT IS HOPED, MR WILLIE NELSON. FOR THE PORTFOLIO I WOULD PROPOSE TO SHOOT 2 PORTRAIT SET UPS OF MR NELSON. ONE AGAINST A SIMPLE WHITE OR BLACK BACKDROP AND ANOTHER PORTRAIT THAT WOULD IDEALLY BE TAKEN IN THE BACKSTAGE ENVIRONMENT DURING A CONCERT SET UP. ALL OF THIS WOULD BE DONE AT A TIME THAT WOULD WORK IN WITH MR NELSON'S TOUR SCHEDULE AND WOULD TAKE AROUND 30 MINS. I AM CURRENTLY BASED OUT OF NY AND IF POSSIBLE, WOULD LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO PHOTOGRAPH MR NELSON AT HIS UPCOMING TOUR DATE ON THE 21 SEPTEMBER 2014 IN NEW JERSEY.
