the balancing act.

"Photography deals exquisitely with appearances, but nothing is what it appears to be."

-Duane Michals

 

Meet Art Decade! They're an experimental rock band based out of Boston, MA and the most down to earth, funniest bunch I've worked with. With their classical influences and such expressive style, I'd definitely compare them to Radiohead or The Mars Volta. Check them out! I'm sure you'll dig their sound.

 

This was a crazy obstacle because, frankly, it was the first shoot I've done in the rain! Terrifying, and highly recommended to avoid completely when involving photography. Even with a waterproof camera case, your lens can still fog up with humidity. BUT we made this work after their long venture down to CT. I kept my camera under my jacket like a small child hehe. This is just one of the many whimsical shots I planned for this day, running off Tim Walker's "Tales of the Unexpected" series, whom I've gathered so much inspiration from. I just want to say that this is not a ton of different shots merged together, Art Decade actually learned this craft during our shoot and we may have caused a bit of a crowd with all of the magic and discoloring in the sky. Haha, really though, editing was time consuming, but who cares as long as it's going to evolve into something that people can continuously come back to and be amused by? That's how I feel, and I can say this is one of my favorite shots to date!
