Freeway at Ultra the Night Club

         It's been over two years that I have been Ultra the Night Club's in house photographer and let me tell you it has it perks.  Last month I had the change to photograph hip hop artist Freeway.  The funny thing is when Ultra told me to come in to photograph a show they did not tell me who the artist was, so when I found out it was Freeway I was pretty pumped.

It's the ROC in the building!!!

Here is a little something something extra; one of my favorite Freeway songs (Party banger!!!).

   A few months ago I had the chance to assist Wendy Hope on a two day fashion shoot for Essence Magazine.  Like I have said before it's always a fun time when your working with Wendy, and this time it was a double-whammy.  The model was Toccara Jones from America's Next Top Model and she was just a blast to work with. Toccara was dancing and jamming to the music from the start of the day to the end of the day, so by the second day I all ready knew what kinda of music she liked so I started "DJ-ing" and she was just loving everything I was playing for her.  Click on the image above to make it larger and you can just tell the awesome energy that was going on on this shoot.
    On a side note; I have learned form assisting and working retail that music is very important and I try to have music on every shoot I can.  Heres a link to the Strobist blog where David Hobby gets in depth on the importance of music on a photo shoot.
