Joe Romeo Portrait Series

Sometimes I get asked to take portraits and band/musician photos.

And most of the time, the only stipulation that bands and musicians have is “make me/us look cool,” so that leaves the door open for a lot of creativity.

I did a shoot a while ago with Joe Romeo, a musician in Carrboro, NC. I ended up giving him a ton of photos that came out pretty nicely and it was a really fun, albeit really long, shoot. Here are a couple of selects that I liked a lot:
