Ever notice how the camera just seems to LOVE certain people, but the rest of us end up with triple chins, mysterious red blotches, and half-closed eyes? Yeah, I feel your pain.

Getting a halfway flattering portrait of one person is often a challenge, but when you compound the problem by attempting to capture an entire group of people in one good shot...well that can be darn near impossible! Read more

Southside Serenade is a Southern Rock/Acoustic band based out of Tampa, FL. I met the lead singer, Addison Arfaras, when he purchased my Fender electric guitar amp off of Craiglist.  At the time, I was selling all my music equipment to purchase some additional photography gear, but little did I know that this chance encounter would ultimately change my photographic direction and focus forever. Despite the fact that I had never shot a band promo before, these guys trusted me to shoot theirs. We ended up having an absolute blast, and shortly thereafter I made a business decision to pursue bands & musicians exclusively.....and I've never looked back.
