American Photo Magazine recently published a 50 page exclusive on Annie Leibovitz that takes a look at her life and work. There is one section in particular called FAQ which I found to be extreamly insightful and worth sharing with you guys. Annie who has had a very accomplished career shooting everyone from the Queen of England to John Lennon the day he was murdered – defiantly has something to say. It’s been my experience that the little insights from those you admire and respect tend to be the ones that offer the most reward. Read the whole article after the jump.
I am a huge fan of Shepard Fairey’s work and would LOVE to own one of his pieces like your about to see! If your not familiar with Shepard who built a name with his OBEY brand then I’m sure you remember the HOPE poster that he created for the Obama campaign. Get ready for a great behind the scenes perspective into his creative process. Be inspired…

The story of Carolina Liar sounds like a Hollywood movie script about the music industry. At the center of the post-punk group is Charleston, SC native Chad Wolf. A singer, songwriter, and guitarist, Wolf fell under the spell of new wave through his older sister’s record collection. He located to Los Angeles at the age of 22, earning a living doing whatever odd jobs he could (which included being an extra in a Celine Dion video) and eventually landing an internship with songwriter Diane Warren, who helped Wolf refine and sharpen his writing skills. The story might have ended there if Wolf hadn’t agreed to housesit for a friend who just happened to know famed Swedish record producer Max Martin. Martin heard one of Wolf’s songs and asked to hear additional samples, and soon Wolf found himself in Stockholm recording an album with one of Europe’s biggest pop producers. He was also backed by an all-Swedish band of Jim Almgren Gandara on guitar, Johan Carlsson on keyboards, Rickard Goransson on guitar, Max Grahn on drums, and Erik Haager on bass. Christened Carolina Liar, the band, with Wolf handling lead vocals, released a debut album, Coming to Terms, on Atlantic Records in 2008. ~ Steve Leggett, All Music Guide
Happy Tuesday! I thought that I would share just a couple of images from a recent engagement shoot with Emma and Rob who by the way are awesome! Thank you guys for being so patient with me that day considering I dropped my camera and had to re-group, head home and get the backup in the middle of our shoot. See you guys in August!
