Piano Man-Branding Session

Dave is a musician and plays piano at clubs all around the Bay Area. He didn't have a headshot that he liked and contacted me for a new one. He also wanted pictures that the clubs could use when promoting his shows so he decided that a full branding session was what he really needed. 

We met at a church that was a tumble of beige...beige carpet, beige walls, beige chairs.  I went to work putting up my lights with different colored gels to hoping to create a club-like look. I had a vision in my head that I was trying to achieve. Check out the last picture to see the oh-so-beige church.

Dave was very patient with me as I tried one .lighting set up, then another, and another. He trusted me and did everything I asked. He played song after song and kept it lively. It was so fun to listen to him as I shot all different angles and different colors on the walls behind him. I am so pleased with how everything turned out. He is too! 

P.S. Look for him at a piano bar in San Jose. He will definitely get your toes tapping and you will be singing along to all the familiar tunes.
