me shooting Cobra Starship
Cobra Starship and I got together at a local hot spot in NYC for a fast and fabulous photo shoot for AP Magazine. Back in October, they were finishing up their time in the studio and gearing up for their Sassyback Tour with Forever the Sickest Kids (on tour now), we had a rainy afternoon to shoot 4 different setups. The band is awesome and they were all tons of fun. Their new album is coming soon…you can read all about that in December’s AP Most Anticipated Albums Issue. (I would like to thank my 1st assistant, Derrick, for pealing me off the floor of the nightclub..sticky is an understatement.)
Cobra Starship’s (which was named by front man Gabe Saporta, taking his inspiration from a favorite pair of his vintage jeans) electric pop tunes have everyone dancing and screaming for more, they are funny, upbeat and 100% rock stars on the rise - check them out live .. I hear they give their fans wild, high energy, offbeat shows that can’t be missed.

Pictures coming soon!

Recently I shot new music sensation Forever the Sickest Kids for their first cover with AP Magazine. We’ve kept this a big secret, along with a few other secrets coming up in the next few months….. Now that the issue’s release is only weeks away, and the cover shot has been released by AP’s myspace team, I can finally put up some behind the scenes fun with the boys.
(bottom row: kent, danee/groomer, marc. second row: austin, me, alisha/hair, dominiga/stylist. top row: caleb, kyle, jonathan)
FTSK consists of Jonathan, Kent, Marc, Kyle, Austin and Caleb. They are Texas natives, and probably one of the sweetest groups of guys you could meet. Their music is carefree pop rock n’roll with catchy rhythms and beats that you can’t help but dance and sing along with. Known for having the wildest and loudest crowds on this summers Warped Tour, there’s a reason, aside from their killer tunes, these guys have such a following….there hearts are pure gold! Plus they all have incredible senses of humor and kept us laughing all day, and is it any reason the girls pass out when they enter the room? These boys are gorgeous!!!!
FTSK loves their fans with all their hearts, they are grateful for where they are, they are genuine & sweet with a wild edge. I totally love these guys and was amazed by their diligence to share the spotlight in the photos (although lets be real, Kyle is a lover of the limelight and being in front of the lens)
AP Magazine, one of the best magazines in the universe, listened to the fans on this one, and it was the enormous outcry of support that got FTSK the cover.
The magazine comes out on October 7th. I have not seen which photos are appearing inside yet. More photos to come of FTSK in October.
