Last Thursday I had one of the coolest experiences I have ever had as a photographer. Photographing Brad Skistimas (a.k.a. Five Times August) at Sun Studio goes down as one of the best experiences I've had yet. Brad was there filming a live performance at the studio. This was a very intimate gathering of fans and Brad in acoustic style...very "storyteller!" You can read about his experience on his myspace or website blog Click here to go to Brad's myspace blog.
Or, click here for the website blog.I felt very much the same way he did.
You can't help but feel the legacy of Sun Studio when you visit. I mean Elvis got his start here, for crying out loud! How can you not be impressed with just the history that has occurred there? As a true music lover, just being there was at times overwhelming. Having access to the Studio and being a part of Brad's history at Sun Studio was truly an amazing experience for me.
Brad and Kelly, thank you so much for including me. It was so great to meet you and get to work with you. I love your music, am inspired by what you are doing, and believe you'll have great success in pursuing your dreams.
To James, Jeff, Matt, Slim, John, Shaun, and all the crew at Sun Studios - what can I say? You guys absolutely rock! You guys do a fabulous job of "creating an experience" for the artist. I feel privileged to have met you and worked with you all. Thank you for allowing me to be part of Brad's experience. And, for all the tips and pointers along the way! I have prints on the way from the session! Click here to go to Sun Studio's website.
The Five Times August CD, "Brighter Side" will be released on March 18th, make sure you go buy a copy. Click here to go to the Five Times August website.
Here are some of my favorite images from the session. (And, yes I was still a tourist , too!) The entire gallery of images will be posted here later in the week.- Cheryl
