John Legend Shoot Live on apple.com

For those of you who follow me on twitter, you may recall about a five weeks ago I was in Houston, Texas shooting John Legend. The client was Apple, and the “Logic Studio—In Action” story just went live! Here it is http://www.apple.com/logicstudio/in-action/johnlegend/

Logic Studio – In Action – John Legend story on apple.com

Update on Saturday, November 7, 2009 by Joseph Linaschke

Here are a few photos from the shoot. The ones you’ve already seen on apple.com (just bigger), and a few more of my personal favorites. Remember, since these were shot for the apple.com story, most photos were setup to specifically include the Apple logo on a MacBook Pro, or the Logic MainStage screen.

Photography on Scott Wilkie's new album, "Home Again"

Last year I photographed my friend Scott Wilkie for his album cover "Home Again: The Solo Piano Sessions" (original blog entry). The album is now released on iTunes, and will soon be available on CD. The photographs are used as the album cover on iTunes, all over his website www.scottwilkie.com, and will be used throughout the CD packaging.

Be sure to check out the album. It was in the Top 10 jazz albums for its first few weeks on iTunes!

Shooting the album cover for Home Again

I had a business trip to LA last week and took some time aside to photograph my friend and colleague Scott Wilkie for his upcoming solo album release, Home Again. The album is a beautiful collection of original solo piano music, blending jazz and pop. His previous albums are available on the iTunes Store [link], and this one will be released this summer. Here are a few selects from the shoot, some of which will be coming soon to an album near you.

[Edit] If anyone can tell me how to not have Blogger strip the color profile from the preview icon (the ones you see below), please let me know. Click through and you see the images properly; on these small views they look rubbish. *sigh*. Hmm and it appears that Firefox doesn't honor the color profile anyway. Browse in Safari! You are using a Mac, right? ;-) *ahem*

Bill Lonero Band

Last night a friend of mine, Frank Casanova, was playing with Bill Lonero's band in downtown San Jose at the Voodoo lounge. I shot a few for them. See a little gallery here.

Black Eyed Peas

In April 2005, we did a shoot with the Black Eyed Peas for a company project. I shot some pictures along with one of the company directors. Some of these photos are his, some are mine, with no way to separate them. For this reason, I’m uploading only small thumbnails. Sorry, BEP fans ;-)

The gallery is here.
