I remember the days of Chris playing at smokey dim lit bars and clubs and being on the road 260 days of the year. Many of you may not know this, but Chris is an incredible bass player. Since his early teens Chris has been on and off the road touring with different bands and working for various record labels as a freelance upright and electric bassist. When we moved to Seattle about three years ago, life on the road and touring started to become less and less desirable, and our business started to become a passion for him. So for the past two years Chris has been touring less and focusing more on studio work and local projects. All while being full time with our business and loving it. He is a true artist and his ability to bring creative vision whether through music or a visual medium amazes me.
Although Chris's life on the road was never quite like what's portrayed in this shoot :) there were definitely a couple of guys who stand out in my mind as truly embracing their "front man" status and late night rock lifestyle. The concept for this shoot really came from a place of wanting to capture just an innocent taste of that experience and peek into that lifestyle. You can see the full story from the shoot here: Rock Story.
On a side note, we arrived at our hotel in NYC last night. The Standard is by far one of the sickest hotels I have ever stayed at. highly recommend it. I woke up to the most amazing sunrise coming over the buildings... it was magical. Off to meet a new friend at Pastis for brunch!
